Flood Damage Redundancies (Wisbech)

Mr. Freud
asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will consider aid in the form of temporary employment subsidies to those businesses in and around Wisbech which were so damaged by last week's floods as to cause staff redundancies pending restoration.

Mr. Golding
Any private sector company facing a redundancy of 10 or more workers in an establishment, no matter what the cause of redundancy, may apply for TES.
