HC Deb 20 July 1981 vol 9 c54W
Mr. Duffy

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many employees in the Sheffield metropolitan district were working short-time under the temporary short-time working compensation scheme during May 1981.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The number of potentially redundant employees covered by applications current in May 1981 in the Sheffield metropolitan district was 14,566. It is not possible to give the numbers of workers sharing short-time working to avert redundancies below regional level.
