HC Deb 24 July 1981 vol 9 c250W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many employees in Calderdale metropolitan district were being supported by the temporary short-time working compensation scheme in May and June.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The number of potentially redundant employees covered by applications current in May 1981 in the Calderdale metropolitan district was 4,153. The figure for June 1981 was 3,918. It is not possible to give the numbers of workers sharing short-time working to avert redundancies below regional level.
