HC Deb 17 December 1992 vol 216 c476W
Mr. Hardy

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will take action to ensure that the present redundancy scheme operated by British Coal is extended beyond the current termination date of March 1993.

Mr. Eggar

This is a matter for British Coal. It would however seem reasonable for the corporation not to determine their redundancy arrangements from 1 April 1993 until the outcome of the coal review and the current statutory consultations are known.
