HC Deb 29 November 1956 vol 561 c62W
54. Mr. Gough

asked the Minister of Labour how many dismissals for redundancy have occurred in Crawley during October; whether these have been reabsorbed in other employment within the town; and if he will make a statement upon the security of employment in that area in the reasonable future.

Mr. Iain Macleod

According to my information seven workers were made redundant in Crawley during October, but none of them is at present registered as unemployed. Outstanding vacancies are considerably greater than the number unemployed in Crawley, and the prospects of stable employment in the area are good.
