HC Deb 14 November 1972 vol 846 c85W

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the standstill under Command Paper No. 5125 applies to stock option and share incentive schemes for employees.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

Yes. The Government intend that the standstill should apply to these schemes. Acordingly, new schemes, or improvements of existing schemes, should not be introduced during the standstill; nor should new benefits be conferred during the standstill under existing schemes.
