Mr. Ted Fletcher
asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish a list of redundancies in the Northern Region that have been notified to his Department in each month from 1st January 1973 to the latest available date.
Mr. Chichester-Clark
Information supplied to my Department by individual employers on redundancies is often given in confidence and my right hon. Friend would not feel justified in publishing a list. However, our records show that the following numbers of workpeople were involved in redundancies recorded as due to occur in the Northern Region in each month last year:
| 1973 Month | Numbers involved |
| January | 770 |
| February | 380 |
| March | 1,040 |
| April | 510 |
| May | 520 |
| June | 470 |
| July | 220 |
| August | 170 |
| September | 850 |
| October | 1,130 |
| November* | 560 |
| December* | 560 |
| Total | 7,180 |
| * These figures are provisional as they may have to be amended in the light of later information received—for example, belated notification etc. | |
