§ Mr. Russell Johnstonasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the annual rate of referrals to industrial tribunals in the case of disruptive dismissals; and what is the percentage of reinstatements and financial compensation awards.
§ Mr. MayhewInformation is not available on the proportion of dismissals which cause industrial disruption and are subsequently referred to an industrial tribunal. In 1978, of those cases which result in a decision of unfair dismissal by industrial tribunals, 3 per cent. resulted in reinstatement and 97 per cent. resulted in financial compensation.
