Superannuation Bill — Clause 3 — Time Limit on Renewal of Cap on Compensation for Civil Service Leavers — 14 Dec 2010 at 17:45

Stewart Jackson MP, Peterborough voted for ministers to be able to renew a cap on compensation for those leaving the civil service so it applies for up to three years, rather than just one year.

The majority of MPs voted for ministers to be able to renew a cap on compensation for those leaving the civil service so it applies for up to three years, rather than just one year. The Bill introduces the cap for one year only in the first instance, with reinstatement being required to keep it in force.

The amendment rejected in this vote was:

  • Amendment (a) proposed to Lords amendment 6.

Lords amendment 6 was:[2]

  • Page 4, line 22, at end insert—
  • “(4A) An order under subsection (4)(c) may not be made after the end of the period of 3 years beginning with the day on which this Act is passed.” In the Title

Amendment (a) proposed to Lords amendment 6 was:[3]

  • Line 3, leave out ‘3 years’ and insert ‘one year’.

The amendments relate to clause 3(4)(c)[4]<[sup class="sup-5">[5] which describes the circumstances where the Minister for the Civil Service may repeal, or revive, section 2 of the Bill, which relates to capping compensation paid to individuals leaving the civil service.

The amendments are on the question of how long the provision, which the Bill initially introduced for twelve months can be reinstated for. The Bill initially stated ministers could reinstate the cap for periods of up to six months, the Lords proposed extending this to three years, those supporting amendment (a) were in favour of one year.
