§ Mr. FowlerIt is my intention to make available to Members of Standing Committee B on the Social Security and Housing Benefits Bill, in addition to the notes on clauses, a short paper giving details of the financial effects of the proposed statutory sick pay scheme; and to place copies in the Library.
§ Mr. Rookerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish any additional information 515W about the financial effects of employers statutory sick pay which was made available to employers during consultation which was over and above that contained in the published consultative document.
§ Mr. FowlerThe only information made generally available to employers was that which was published as part of the consultative process.
