Section 7(1) and (2) of the Coal Industry Act 1977 as amended empowers the Secretary of State to make schemes providing for the making of payments by him in respect of persons who are employed at coal mines or coking plants or in ancillary work and who become redundant. Section 7(5) as amended imposes a limit of £1,200 million on the aggregate amount of such payments during the period from the financial year of the National Coal Board ending in March 1979 to that ending in March 1987.
Under section 3(3) of the Coal Industry Act 1985 the Secretary of State has power to increase this limit by Order made with the approval of the Treasury. This Order increases the limit to £1,800 million, the maximum permitted by section 3(3).
