Mr. Chope

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he intends to extend the shipbuilding redundancy payments scheme beyond its present expiry date of 30 June 1985; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Yes. The Government will shortly introduce a Bill to extend the shipbuilding redundancy payments scheme, and the parallel scheme for Northern Ireland, on the same terms as at present. The extension will be for a final period of 18 months ending on 31 December 1986.
