§ Miss Holtasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will specify the properties which have been purchased by his Department for use as judges' lodgings within the past 12 months with the prices paid or agreed to be paid for each such property and specifying the amount at which each such property was valued by the district valuer.
§ Mr. EyreDetails are as follows:
local government worker to continue paying contributions based on his former rate of pay; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Graham PageI am considering the point on the code which the hon. Member put to me in a recent letter. But 31W payment at the employee's former rate of contributions is not essential in order to maintain the level of benefits appropriate to the former level of pay. The scheme permits benefits to be related in these circumstances to former pay levels, on the basis agreed between employers and employees, while contributions continue to be on remuneration actually received.
