§ Dame Irene Wardasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry why no response has been forthcoming to the request from the Anglo-American Plastics Company about its needs; and what grounds there are for assuming, if the factory is relet, that the men originally employed by Anglo Plastics now being declared redundant will be re-employed.
§ Mr. ChatawayThe company has not put such a request to the Department. The provision of alternative employment is the primary objective of our discussions with possible new tenants of the factory.
