HC Deb 25 February 1987 vol 111 c293W
73. Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce legislation to establish a severance pay scheme to assist redundant textile and clothing workers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to a similar question of his on 6 February [Official Report, c. 838]. The Government have no plans to introduce legislation to establish a special severance pay scheme to assist redundant textile and clothing workers.
