§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will place in the Library a copy of the undertakings sought from training and enterprise council secondees in(a) England and (b) Wales, in relation to the obligation to retire early, for those civil servants applying for his Department's voluntary early retirement scheme.
§ Miss Widdecombe[holding answer 13 May 1994]There is no specific form of undertaking to place in the Library. Regional directors were instructed that training and enterprise council secondees would qualify for early retirement only if they intended to return to the Department at the end of their secondment. Secondees were required to confirm their intention in writing and our guidance required our regional offices to send a letter to the TEC telling it of the secondee's intention to return to the Department at the end of their secondment.
