§ Mr. Masonasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons in the British coalfields 114W have been denied their unemployment benefits following redundancy notices from the National Coal Board which were served before the miners' strike began, giving separate figures for each region; whether the adjudicating authorities have now concluded all their examinations; with what results; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkInformation about the number of people throughout the British coalfields who are not receiving unemployment benefit following redundancy notices from the National Coal Board which were served before the miners' strike began is not readily available and can be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Some claims have yet to be decided by the independent adjudicating authorities.
