HC Deb 28 March 1980 vol 981 c706W
Mr. Frank R. White

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many employees in Northern Ireland are currently on short-time working.

Mr. Rossi

Separate figures of short-time working in Northern Ireland are not collected. An indication of the extent of short-time working is, however, given by the fact that employers are currently receiving payments in respect of some 10,700 workers under the temporary short-time working compensation scheme.
