There are rules for the extended redundancy. All workers' rights have been protected under the extension. If a worker went to work somewhere else and was subsequently made redundant, then the workers' rights are protected even though it was extended. It has been extended now to November, although I do not have the date off the top of my head. Workers' rights are protected and we will ensure their rights continue to be protected on that basis.
