    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to comment on the public Petition on massive termination of employment following the closure of an EPZ company. Many companies have turned into this practice, especially when they run bankrupt or for no proper reasons, the owners migrate to another country. It is time Parliament assisted members of the public to get their dues, especially when they are not able to file a case in court. The district labour offices are supposed to arbitrate those matters. It seems that for the matter to come to Parliament, those Petitioners have really suffered. I would like to urge the Departmental Committee on Labour to pursue the matter. I would like to attend the sittings of the Committee, together with other interested Members of Parliament, so that such practices may cease. Whatever happens, the contracts must be respected so that the particular persons can be paid their dues. Thank you."
