This Order makes further changes in the Redundant Mineworkers Payments Scheme scheduled to the Redundant Mineworkers and Concessionary Coal (Payments Schemes) Order 1978. The 1978 Scheme provides for benefits to certain coal industry employees made redundant between 25 March 1978 and 29 March 1981. The principal change made by this Order is the substitution (by addition of a new Article 14A) of new provisions governing lump sum payments for those made redundant on or after 23 June 1980 and before 29 March 1981. In particular a new system of calculating payments is substituted, the minimum qualifying age of those made redundant is reduced from 35 to 21 years, and the requirement of not less than ten years coal industry employment is abolished. The relevant amendments are made by Articles 4 and 5 of this Order.
The previous provision for lump sum payments (under Article 14 of the 1978 Scheme) is retained to govern the making of such payments after 22 June 1980 to coal industry employees made redundant before that date.
