Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 7 November 2017 to Question 111066, on Britvic: Norwich, what advice the Insolvency Service provides to companies in the event that they are considering significant job losses.

The Insolvency Service does not provide advice to employers. However if approached will provide information to both employers and employees about statutory entitlements and obligations.

If the employer is in formal insolvency, and significant job losses are to occur, the Insolvency Service will provide advice to the affected employees about how they may claim for redundancy and other employment related money owed.
