HC Deb 20 January 1969 vol 776 cc3-4W
50. Mr. Longden

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity how many times her Department has intervened on behalf of the Redundancy Fund in proceedings before the tribunal which investigates the causes of dismissals alleged to be due to redundancy; and with what results.

Mr. Hattersley

A sample check has shown that the Department was represented in about 10 per cent. of redundancy payments cases heard by industrial tribunals during 1968. Awards of redundancy payments were made in about 60 per cent. of such cases.
