§ Mr. Richard Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Employment he will publish in the Official Report a table to show the average statutory redundancy payments made to workers within each Standard Industrial Classification group together with the comparative amounts paid to workers in each country of the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. Waddington:The information for Great Britain for the year to 30 September is as follows. No information is held for other European Community countries. Comparisons would not in any case be valid, since EC countries have differing provisions for redundancy.
