Norman Lamb, North Norfolk MP, said the real losers were the workers who were still to get their jobs back. He said: “Many people will struggle with the idea that the company gets compensation, although it is a small amount compared with the drop in sales. But for the workers, the people in the front line of this, not to get anything, is hard to justify.
