§ 62. Mr. Tilneyasked the Minister of Labour whether he will hold discussions with the Ford Motor Company in order to keep up employment on Merseyside, which is a development area where little alternative work is available, rather than at Dagenham.
§ Mr. ThorntonI understand that since early October there has been no short-time working at any of the Ford Motor Company's plants. The firm announced recently its confidence that the demand for its products would enable full-time working to continue in the foreseeable future.
