Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:How many employees of Northern Rock were made redundant between 21 February and 31 March.
Answer
During the period of temporary public ownership, Northern Rock will be managed by its board on commercial principles. It is a matter for Northern Rock to release specific business updates or provide any required disclosures in its audited annual report and accounts. I refer the noble Lord to the Chancellor's Statement to the House of Commons on 18 March.
