Ms. Quin

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many full-time employees in(a) the United Kingdom and (b) each standard planning region are not covered by the right to appeal against unfair dismissal.

Mr. McLoughlin

I regret that the information is not available as there is no statutory definition of what constitutes full-time employment for the purposes of unfair dismissal.
