The Government are committed to ensuring that any staff who are transferred out of the civil service either into a Government-owned company—GOCO—or into a privately owned company will enjoy as far as possible redundancy compensation provisions identical to those they have at present.

Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether persons refused severance payment by the Property Services Agency under the terms of circular SW0P3/91 will be given an explanation for such refusals.
