Mr. Mason
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what has been the total of redundancy payments in the Barnsley area in each of the last two years.
Mr. Waddington
Figures are held only in respect of statutory payments to those who qualify, and for Department of Employment regions. The total number of payments in Yorkshire and Humberside region in 1980 was 47,209, and in 1981 89,327. No figures are available for smaller areas.
