Information provided to the Government under Section 193 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, regarding proposed redundancies is commercially confidential. The purpose of this information is to provide those facing redundancy, with assistance such as training and job seeking advice. Any information provided through this process is not in the public domain. It is open to employers to take legal action for breach of confidence if such unauthorised disclosures were made. Therefore, we are unable to provide the information requested.<\/p>

Officials at Defra have been in contact with Britvic. The company is in the process of consulting on the proposals with elected employee representatives and, therefore, it would be inappropriate for the Government to comment at this time. We know that this is an uncertain time for Britvic workers affected by the news and we will be working with the company to ensure that employees receive appropriate support.<\/p>
Britvic is part of our dynamic and world-class food and drink industry, which is our largest manufacturing sector. It is a private company, and, therefore, the Government is not involved in its decision-making process. DWP stands ready to support the company\u2019s workforce in the event of potential job losses.<\/p>
