HC Deb 13 July 1979 vol 970 c326W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he intends to propose legislation that will extend the Shipbuilding (Redundancy Payments) Act 1978 to allow payments to be made to workers in shipyards in the private sector.

Mr. Butler

After careful consideration, the Government have concluded that the arguments against extending the shipbuilding redundancy payments scheme to private sector employees outweigh those in favour.
