  "text": "This Order makes further changes in the Redundant Mineworkers Payments Schemes scheduled to the Redundant Mineworkers and Concessionary Coal (Payments Schemes) Order 1973 and the Redundant Mineworkers and Concessionary Coal (Payments Schemes) Order 1978. The 1973 Scheme provides for benefits to certain coal industry employees made redundant from 10th December 1972 to 25th March 1978. The 1978 Scheme makes provision for those made redundant between 25th March 1978 and 29th March 1981.\nThe principal change made by this Order is the addition to the 1978 Scheme of a new table of basic weekly benefit for those who become redundant on or after 6th April 1980. The relevant amendments are made by Article 4(a) and (c) of this Order.\nUnder Article 6 of both the 1973 and the 1978 Schemes basic benefit is reduced to take account of certain social security and other benefits, subject to the proviso that the rate of basic weekly benefit shall not be reduced below a minimum of £6.62. For weeks commencing after 6th April 1980 this amount is raised to £7.37 (for the 1973 Scheme by Article 3 of this Order and for the 1978 Scheme by Article 4(b)).",
