§ Mr. Iain MacleodAs stated in reply to my hon. Friend, the Member for60W Lanark (Mr. Patrick Maitland) on 18th March, my Department is always ready to help resettle in suitable employment people who have lost their jobs, and where necessary, appropriate facilities for training are available for this purpose.
