3

The terms of any offer under sub-paragraph (1) above shall be such that they are, taken as a whole, not less favourable to the person to whom the offer is made than the terms on which he is employed on the date on which the offer is made.

4

Any question as to what persons are employed as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above and, in respect of any such person, the body by which an offer is (subject to the exception mentioned in the sub-paragraph) to be made under the sub-paragraph shall be determined by the Secretary of State, whose decision in the matter in question shall be final.

5

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) above, no account shall be taken of the fact that employment with Scottish Enterprise or Highlands and Islands Enterprise is not employment in the service of the Crown.

2

Where a person receives an offer under head (a)(i) or (b)(i) of sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 16 above (whether or not by virtue of the exception to that sub-paragraph), none of the agreed redundancy procedures applicable to an employee of the Scottish Development Agency, or as the case may be of the Highlands and Islands Development Board, shall apply to him; and where the person ceases to be such an employee—

181

Any dispute as to whether an offer under sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 16 above complies with sub-paragraph (3) of that paragraph shall be referred to and be determined by an employment tribunal.

2

An employment tribunal shall not consider a complaint referred to it under sub-paragraph (1) above unless the complaint is presented to the tribunal before the end of the period of three months beginning with the date on which the offer is made or within such further period as the tribunal considers reasonable in a case where satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable for the complaint to be presented before the end of the period of three months.

3

Subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, there shall be no appeal from the decision of an employment tribunal under this paragraph.

4

For the purposes of this paragraph disclosure at a meeting may be made without the attendance in person of the member in question provided that he takes reasonable steps to secure that the matter disclosed is in a notice taken into consideration at the meeting.
