HC Deb 11 May 1994 vol 243 c180W
32. Mr. Tipping

To ask the President of the Board of Trade with what interested parties he has had recent discussions about introducing a further redundancy scheme for mineworkers to replace the scheme that expires on 30 April.

Mr. Eggar

The operation of British Coal's redundancy arrangements is a matter for the corporation. I understand it is currently discussing with the unions the redundancy arrangements for industrial employees to apply after 30 April.
