§ 70. Mr. Wallaceasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on the threatened redundancy to 700 skilled shoe operatives arising from the appointment of a Receiver at Sexton Sons and Everard Limited, Norwich, and the action his Department is taking.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantI very much regret that these redundancies may be threatened, but the future of the company is now a matter for the receiver. If, unhappily, redundancies should arise, the full services of the Department of Employment will be available to assist those affected.
