§ The Minister of Supply (Mr. Aubrey Jones)Forty-eight industrial employees were declared redundant in June. So far only eight have gone. The remaining discharges will be spread over the next two months.

§ Mr. JonesYes, Sir. I am very conscious of that, although it is primarily a consideration for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour.
