HC Deb 18 May 1976 vol 911 c491W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether the payment of £76,000 by Cadbury Schweppes Limited to a former director is within the terms of the pay policy.

Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is satisfied that the payment by Cadbury Schweppes of £76,000 to a former employee is in accordance with the agreement and understanding between the Government and the TUC.

Mr. Harold Walker

I understand that the payment was made as compensation for loss of office. Such payments, as with redundancy payments, are not subject to the £6 limit.
