<p>Employers are only required to notify my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State
if they are proposing making more than 20 people redundant. However, the Office for
National Statistics produce detailed statistics on redundancies by industry and individual
characteristics.</p><p> </p><p>There are laws in place to ensure that any redundancy
process should be fair and reasonable with appropriate equalities considerations.
Employees with the necessary qualifying service who believe that they have been unfairly
selected for redundancy, or that the redundancy was unfair in some other way, can
complain to an employment tribunal who will make an assessment. The Government publishes
quarterly tribunal statistics, including on unfair dismissal and discrimination claims.</p>
