HC Deb 05 March 1981 vol 1000 c170W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many cases have occurred in non-departmental public bodies for which he is responsible, over the last 10 years, where compensation has been paid to any person who is a part-time member of the body who ceases to be a member otherwise than on the expiry of a term of office where he considered that there were special circumstances making it right that compensation should be paid; how much money was paid on each occasion; and what were the considerations in each case which caused him to make the decision to pay compensation.

Mr. Peter Rees

No such cases are known to have occurred in the last 10 years.
