§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for Employment under what circumstances 194W a worker who takes voluntary redundancy may be prevented from being re-employed when his former firm takes on extra workers, or be prevented from being employed by another firm.
§ Mr. Harold Walker, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 20 February 1979; Vol. 963, c. 111], gave the following information:
There are no legislative provisions governing this situation, and particular circumstances preventing a formerly redundant worker from being employed are a matter for speculation. Re-engagement of such a worker will depend, among other things, on the employer's normal selection from applicants, or on any previous understanding with the worker, or on an agreement with a trade union.
