§ Mr. Richard Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many textile workers in the Yorkshire and Humberside region were made redundant in the 12 months ended May 1981; and what was the average level of redundancy payment received.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonFigures are available only for payments under the statutory redundancy scheme, which are, of course, only made to employees who have at least two years' service with their employer in the 12 months to April 1981. A total of 9,196 payments were made to employees in textiles in the Yorkshire and Humberside region.
The average payment was £872.70.
