§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons were made redundant in the last 12 months in Gwynedd.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsI have been asked to reply.
Precise information on the total number of workers made redundant is not available. Information derived from statutory notifications under the Employment Protection Act between July 1979—June 1980 indicates some 3,566 proposed redundancies, but not all of these have occurred or will necessarily take place in the future.
