§ Earl Russellasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they are yet able to estimate the cost to employers of changes in the statutory sick pay scheme introduced in 1992.
§ Lord HenleyIt is not possible to estimate the cost to employers of the SSP changes introduced from April 1992 because these will vary from employer to employer, depending on such factors as whether an employer has an occupational sick pay scheme. However, the estimated savings in public expenditure are in the table.
£million 1992–93 19 1993–94 20 1994–95 21
