HC Deb 30 November 1989 vol 162 c381W
Mr. Anthony Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has any plans for the redundancy fund.

Mr. Nicholls

Proposals will be included in the 1989 Employment Bill to merge the redundancy fund with the national insurance fund. This will simplify administration and provide a single source of funding for the relevant payments. No change will occur in the statutory entitlements of employees as a result of this merger.
