HC Deb 29 March 1955 vol 539 c18W
89. Mr. Edelman

asked the Minister of Labour to take note of the employment difficulties which will be caused in the motor industry when the Australian import cuts become effective; and what action he is taking in face of this problem.

Mr. Watkinson

There is at present a shortage of labour in the motor industry which is reflected in a substantial number of vacancies not yet filled by the employment exchanges. In view of the unsatisfied demand, there is no reason to anticipate serious difficulty in finding alternative employment for any workers in the industry should they become redundant.
