There is at present no legal bar to the employers declaring sudden closures ; under the Industrial Disputes Act, they are requir- ed to give either one month's notice or pay Nvages in lieu of notice to the workmen. Government consider that it should have an opportunity to go into the causes of closures and take such steps as it may think necessary for avoiding the closures. A compulsory notice of sixty days for this purpose is being provided for by suitable amendment of the Industrial Disputes Act. 19-47.
