Public Accounts Committee
Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group
1:40 pm
Mr. Keith Poole:
Deputy Fleming's figures are correct. I would just point him back to my opening statement where, I believe, I acknowledged that, but I pointed out that our staff do not have the same security of tenure as, perhaps, colleagues have in the public sector, particularly when it comes to pensions and the fact that, for example, if we lose a service contract or whatever we do, it falls back on Rehab to sort it out, when TUPE would apply. I am not arguing with Deputy Fleming at all, but there is a subtle difference there.
