HC Deb 29 July 1971 vol 822 c144W
36. Mr. Waddington

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many cases of alleged unfair dismissal have been brought to his attention, with requests for his assistance.

Mr. Dudley Smith

About 230 in a period of 12 months. But research indicates that in that time there are likely to have been very many more who considered that they were unfairly dismissed.
