HC Deb 29 February 1952 vol 496 cc212-3W
Mrs. White

asked the Minister of Labour what arrangements exist for employment exchanges in Wales to submit workers direct for employment at Capenhurst and at De Havilland's Broughton factory.

Sir W. Monckton

At present there are sufficient workers available locally for the vacancies arising at Capenhurst. Vacancies for De Havilland's Broughton factory have been notified to local offices in North Wales and are being brought to the notice of suitable applicants for employment. During 1951 out of 910 workers placed with De Havillands, 530 were from North Wales.

Mrs. White

asked the Minister of Labour to ensure that the fullest use will be made of redundant workers in Flintshire when workers are recruited by his exchanges for Capenhurst and for De Havilland's Broughton factory.

Sir W. Monckton

Yes, whenever the need arises to recruit labour from outside the areas in which the factories are situated.
