COMET REDUNDANCIES

That this House is deeply concerned by the job losses at Comet stores across the country, including 80 in Harlow, with more now at risk; calls on the administrators Deloitte to ensure that all Comet staff are treated fairly and that they receive proper advice and support; andfinally urges the Government to investigate this insolvency process, including the terms and structure of the purchase of Comet by OpCapita LLP in February 2012, given that a number of former Comet employees have now made allegations of serious malpractice.
