HC Deb 19 May 1981 vol 5 c45W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many people in Dundee are employed in short-time working schemes; how this figure compares with May 1979; and what has been the percentage change.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

On 13 May 1981, 1,178 potentially redundant employees in Dundee were being supported by the temporary short-time working compensation scheme. In May 1979 no establishments in Dundee were in receipt of assistance under the scheme which opened for applications on 1 April of that year.
