Right to redundancy
of 14 former ministers have four still no other work.
Depending on how long they were in politics, they have up to 3 years and 2 months straight on reduced pay. The benefit is the first year 80 per cent of their previous income, and then 70 percent. They have the obligation to seek in this period. Then they need the assistance. That is happening now with those who became unemployed from September 2012. Who that is not in the letter
