HC Deb 06 February 1992 vol 203 c218W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, further to his answer of 28 January,Official Report, column 501, if he will give details of any provision by which third parties affected by the abolition of the dock labour scheme may seek redress.

Mr. McLoughlin

The Dock Work Act 1989 made no provision in respect of creditors and non-docker employees of stevedoring firms, since their rights, in the event of a liquidation, were already governed respectively by the general legislation on insolvencies and employment protection.
