§ Mr. Nicholas Brownasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will state the full terms and conditions of the redundancy settlement granted to the chief executive of Tyne and Wear county council.
§ Mrs. RumboldCompensation for any redundancy attributable to the abolition of the GLC or a metropolitan county council is payable in accordance with the Local Government Reorganisation (Compensation) Regulations 1986, except where an employee has a contractual right to other terms obtained before 2 March 1984. The precise terms for each individual depend on the circumstances of his or her case; these are matters between the employee concerned and the authority responsible for making the payment (in most cases the appropriate residuary body).
