§ Mr. Redmondasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is aware of the number of cases of people over 50 years of age who may have served in a firm for 12 years or more, having to be given notice through ill-health and thereby forfeiting their right to redundancy 430W payment and possible schemes for benefit one retirement; and whether he will amend his regulations to provide that a percentage of redundancy payment can be made to them.
§ Mr. BryanAs I explained on 12th November in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Leicester, North-West (Mr. Greville Janner), I do not think it would appropriate to make payments under the Redundancy Payments Scheme to employees who are dismissed in such circumstances.—[Vol. 806, c. 587.]
