§ 78. Mr. Edelmanasked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the redundancy at machine-tool firms in the Coventry area; and what action he is taking to maintain full employment in this nationally important industry.
§ Mr. CarrYes. 198 men have been discharged as redundant by machine tool firms in Coventry in the last four months. Most of them have obtained other employment, and the remaindar have good prospects of doing so. The level of employment in the industry must depend on its ability to obtain orders.
