§ Mr. HindTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what financial help is made available to civil servants whose jobs are transferred from London to other parts of the country; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Gillian ShephardA range of financial assistance is available to civil servants who are relocated from London to other parts of the country. I refer my hon. Friend to the reply that my right hon. Friend the then Paymaster-General gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Rochford (Dr. Clark) on 15 November 1990, col. 188. All assistance is in the form of reimbursement of reasonable costs that have been necessarily incurred.
