HC Deb 21 April 1978 vol 948 c404W
Mr Kenneth Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether it is the Government's policy that any of the extra funds recently made avaliable under the Industry Act 1972 to British Leyland should be used to increase redundancy payments to workers made redundant at Speke or elsewhere.

Mr. Les Huckfield

The amount of public funding for 1978 was determined in the light of the company's overall financial requirements. The level of redundancy payments at Speke and elsewhere is a matter for British Leyland.
