HC Deb 13 June 1979 vol 968 c236W
18. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Lord Privy Seal what liability for redundancy payments would arise if the present Secretary-General of the Commonwealth was made redundant; what the amount of any such payments would be; and what proportion of them would fall on the United Kingdom Exchequer.

Mr. Blaker

The Commonwealth Secretary-General is appointed by Commonwealth Heads of Government collectively, and his terms of service are a matter for all Commonwealth Governments.
