Vol. 413 No. 1
28 Mr. Sherlock asked the Minister for Labour the number of redundancies reported to his Department for the first nine months of this year; the way this figure compares with the 1990 figures; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The total number of redundancies notified to my Department in the first nine months of 1991 was 12,471 compared with 10,620 for the corresponding period in 1990. However, this should be reviewed in the context that the annual total in 1990 of 13,292 notified redundancies was the lowest annual total since 1979.
