§ Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the form and amount of severance or redundancy pay available to members of the Armed Services; and how this compares with the provisions of the Redundancy Payments Act.
§ Mr. William RodgersI would refer my hon. Friend to Annex H of the Statement on the Defence Estimates 1975— Cmnd. 5976—which describes the principles of the Armed Forces redundancy compensation scheme. The terms of compensation are more favourable than those prescribed under the Redundancy Payments Act.
