HC Deb 23 July 1982 vol 28 cc325-6W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what savings will accrue as a result of transferring sick pay to the employer from the time this transfer was introduced until the end of the fiscal year 1982–83.

Mr. Rossi

The statutory sick pay scheme is being introduced from 6 April 1983 so that no savings from it will accrue in the 1982–83 tax year. The financial consequences of the scheme are set out in a paper entitled "Financial Effects of Statutory Sick Pay"—April 1982—available in the Library.
