§ 52. Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Minister of Labour what steps he is taking to ensure that firms maximise re deployment within and between their own factories before any workers are put on short-time or declared redundant.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsIt is normal practice for our officers to consider with employers whether workers likely to be declared redundant are suitable for outstanding vacancies within their organisation. In general, the objective which the hon. Member has in mind is secured by consultation between managements and representatives of the workers.
