HC Deb 15 March 2001 vol 364 c672W
Sir David Madel

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when the Beckman case in the European Court of Justice will be heard; and if he will honour the original redundancy entitlements of the Department of Trade and Industry staff concerned. [153592]

Mr. Alan Johnson

[holding answer 13 March 2001]I am expecting the case to be heard by the European Court of Justice later this year. It would be inappropriate for me to comment further while the case is still before the courts.
