HC Deb 16 January 1996 vol 269 c571W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what action heads of his Department's executive agencies are taking to safeguard the provision of pre-retirement courses; and if he will make a statement. [9139]

Mr. Burt

The Department and its agencies—except the Resettlement Agency, which will cease to operate on 1 April 1996–are committed to offering pre-retirement courses to all eligible staff. There are no plans to change this arrangement.
