§ Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Labour whether unemployment benefit will be paid to those former Ford employees in Dagenham who have received no notice of re-employment or a notice of re-employment at an indefinite date in the future.
§ Mr. N. MacphersonI have been asked to reply. I understand that claims by Ford employees involved in the recent stoppage of work at Dagenham have not yet been decided by the independent adjudicating authorities, but I will write to the hon. Member as soon as the outcome is known.
