HC Deb 31 October 1984 vol 65 c1044W
Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what has been the average cost to public funds of each redundancy amongst local authority employees in each of the last two years.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

This information is not available.

Mr. Amess

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he intends to include the redundancy payments to local authority employees as a disregard in relation to grant-related expenditure assessment.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

My right hon. Friend will consider all representations from local authorities and their associations for expenditure to be disregarded in assessing liability for grant abatement, including redundancy payment.
