§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if, in relation to the dock labour scheme, he will list, by individual port,(a) the estimated number of registered dockers who were expected to leave the industry, given also as a percentatge of the total of registered dockers, (b) the estimated contribution from the Government to the redundancy compensation scheme, (c) the actual number of registered dockers who have left the industry to date, given also as a percentage of the total of registered dockers and (d) the actual contribution from the government to the redundancy compensation scheme.
