HC Deb 05 March 1992 vol 205 c255W
Mr. Blair

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment when former employees of Medicopharma UK can expect to receive their company redundancy payments; if he will require their former employer to compensate them for the delay; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Forth

Employees who are dismissed for redundancy and who satisfy the qualifying conditions are entitled to a lump sum payment from their employer. Questions arising as to the right of employees to a payment, or as to the amount of a payment, are matters for an industrial tribunal to determine on the application of the employees concerned.
