§ 6. Mr. Roy Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will pay a visit to Newport.
§ Mr. John MorrisI have no immediate plans to do so.
§ Mr. HughesWould the Secretary of State appreciate that I should like him to do so, because then he would have the opportunity to meet representatives and shop stewards of the Westinghouse Company who are about to be made redundant as a result of the proposed closure of that factory, which, incidentally, is a profitable enterprise? Would he give an assurance that he will do all he can to help in this situation?
§ Mr. MorrisCertainly, I give that assurance. I am aware of the problem arising at Westinghouse. My hon. Friend has had some preliminary words with me, but I should like to have a further discussion with him to hear his views about the redundancies that will arise in the second half of this year and that will, so I believe, mean a loss of some 180 jobs.
