Whilst not a lawyer I have been involved in redundancy consultations at my firm and

believe that the position would be that the employer may have a case for compensation against the Government if a change in legislation has caused him a financial loss but because of the fact that this has been a planned change for some time and it is not an enforced closure/nationalisation then they cannot say they didn't anticipate the change.

But as far as your father is concerned if his "role" is made redundant by the firm then he is entitled to redundancy from the employer which would go to the employers claim for financial loss.
