§ Ms. RuddockTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many staff have agreed redundancy payment in the supply and transport branch of the warehousing and distribution branch of the prison department.
§ Mr. Peter LloydAll the staff employed in the warehousing and distribution function to whom redundancy notices have been issued have been advised of the amount of redundancy payment to which they will be entitled. As the period of redundancy notice does not expire until 31 March 1993 and, as my right hon. and learned Friend said on 4 February at columns 285–86, while the implication of advice received on the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 (TUPE) is being considered no payments have yet been made.
