HC Deb 08 February 1983 vol 36 c332W
31. Mr. Maxton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many companies have notified redundancies to his Department in the past three months.

Mr. Gummer

It is estimated that redundancies involving more than 10 employees were notified to the Manpower Services Commission, and confirmed as due to occur, in about 2,000 establishments in the last three months of 1982. The number of companies involved is not available, except at disproportionate cost.
