Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 21 October 2016 to Question 48873, whether he plans to backdate the commencement date of secondary legislation to bring a £95,000 cap into force before 1 October 2016; and if he will make a statement.

The public sector exit payment cap will apply to exits specified in regulations that will be laid in Parliament and approved via the affirmative procedure. The cap will not apply to any exits that have occurred before the regulations have been laid and come into force.
