HC Deb 29 July 1971 vol 822 c150W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what administrative procedure his Department applies to work people who are declared redundant when at the same time the firm employing them finds itself unable to pay the salary or wages due to the redundant employees.

Mr. Dudley Smith

In these circumstances, claims by redundant employees for the payment of wages and salaries are considered by the trustee, liquidator or receiver, if one has been appointed. My Department therefore operates no administrative procedure, but will advise employees where to make their claims.
