HC Deb 29 July 1971 vol 822 c146W
43. Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many redundancies have been notified to him in the Hartlepool Steel Works during the past 12 months; and what is the total of redundancies announced but not yet implemented.

Mr. Dudley Smith

During the past 12 months the British Steel Corporation has notified redundancies involving 410 workpeople in Hartlepool, including about 200 who have yet to terminate. In addition, proposals involving a loss of approximately 600 jobs have been announced, though the number of consequent redundancies may be somewhat lower.
