The question

To ask the Scottish Executive how many (a) current and (b) former members of its security branch have now initiated legal proceedings in respect of underpayment of back pay and allowances; how long any such matters have remained unresolved, and when payments in full should be expected.

The answer

Answered by Andy Kerr on 23 Sep 2002 · 27 days after it was lodged, on time

No such action has been taken against the Scottish Executive by current or former members of the security branch. Following agreement with the Trades Union Side, serving members of staff were advised on 3 September 2001 of the process for claiming backdated Travel Time Payments. Former members of staff were written to individually during October 2001.Establishing entitlement to payment from historical records for ex-members of staff has been a complex task. There are 12 remaining cases. These are expected to be resolved shortly.
