§ Mr. David MitchellFollowing is the information:
Treasury has decided to pay on the compensation sums outstanding in respect of the compensation payable to companies under section 5 of schedule 4 to the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries Act 135W 1977; and whether this will be calculated on a simple or compound basis.
§ Mr. Michael Marshall[pursuant to his reply, 17 March 1980]: No compensation became payable under schedule 4 to the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries Act 1977. Compensation for vested securities is satisfied by the issue of Government stock under section 35 of, and schedule 5 to, the Act. Compensation paid during 1977, 1978 and 1979 was satisfied by the issue of 9¾ per cent. Treasury 1981. For technical reasons concerning the maturity of Government stock, a payment made last week was satisfied by the issue of 10 per cent. Exchequer 1983.
