House of Lords written question – answered at on 26 October 2010.
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Taylor of Holbeach on 28 July (WA 389), what evidence they have of it being good practice in the wider economy to provide higher rates of payments for those who take voluntary redundancy than for those being made compulsorily redundant; and what evidence they have that this ensures the retention of the right civil staff.
Allowing higher levels of voluntary payments allows for earlier exits and therefore savings to the Exchequer. It also minimises the number of compulsory redundancies which need to be made, which is an objective of this Government.
