Job Losses At Clarke Foods, Greenford

EDM number 746 in 1992-93, proposed by Harry Greenway on 04/11/1992.

That this House notes with great concern that the Clarke Food (UK) Limited works in Greenford, which were formerly Lyons Maid, have been put into administrative receivership and that 108 employees have been made redundant; notes with further concern that Clarke Foods have reneged on assurances given over redundancy payments at the time when they acquired the plant; expresses strong support for former Lyons Maid workers who transferred to Clarke Foods, some of whom have worked on the site for over 40 years and who have been told that there will be no redundancy payments for them; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to investigate the fairness and legality of the situation in which the said employees and ex-employees are now placed.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
