§ 11. Mr. HARDIEasked the Minister of Labour what number of workers have been placed on the Employment Exchange as unemployed through the closing of the Phoenix tube works at Rutherglen; and whether any of the workers so displaced have been offered work at Corby?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADThe works referred to by the hon. Member have not yet closed, but about 145 men discharged from them have registered at Employment Exchanges during the past fortnight. I do not know whether any of these workers have been offered employment at Corby, but I understand from statements in the Press that it is the intention of the firm to transfer there as many of their employés as possible.
