HC Deb 08 April 1971 vol 815 cc272-3W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many firms, having employees in the County Borough of Warley, have gone bankrupt in the last year; and what is his estimate of the number of redundancies which ensued.

Mr. Ridley

Comprehensive information is not available. I understand, however, that, when one particular business carried on in the County Borough of Warley ceased in October, 1970, there were 60 redundancies among its employees.
