HC Deb 06 April 1982 vol 21 cc291-2W
Mr. McCusker

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland why the Department of Manpower Services has refused to accept the arbitration decision made by the Northern Ireland arbitration panel with regard to redundancy agreements with the Northern Ireland training executive and industrial training board staff; and what alternative proposals are to be made by the Department.

Fraction of arrears
Gross Income Collected Remitted
Above £9,000 but not above £11,500 ½ ½
Above £11,000 but not above £14,000 ¾ ¼
Above £14,000 but not above £19,500 9/10 1/10
Above £19,500 All None

The special increase of £2,000 in each of the income limits for taxpayers who at the crucial date are aged 65 or over or who are in receipt of a national retirement or widow's pension will continue so that if the taxpayer's gross income is £9,000 or less the whole of the arrears will be remitted whilst some remission will be allowable on gross incomes up to £21,500.
