HC Deb 05 August 1947 vol 441 c130W
8. Mr. D. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Labour how many Poles are now employed in tinplate mills in South Wales; how many more could be employed; and what steps he is taking to make the additional labour available.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Seventy Poles have so far been placed in the tinplate industry in South Wales. Some hundreds more could be employed and my regional office has called a meeting this week between the Employers' Association and the appropriate trade union to discuss details. Selection interviews are meanwhile being conducted by the employers.
