HC Deb 09 June 1986 vol 99 cc16-7W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will issue guidelines to local authorities regarding the circumstances in which ex gratia payments should be made in connection with the abolition of the Greater London council and as to the amounts involved; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tracey

The making of ex gratia payments to local authority staff is a matter for individual local authorities in the light of their own pay agreements.
