§ Mr. Parryasked the Secretary of State for Employment what discussions he has had with Plessey Telecommunications concerning redundancies at its Liverpool Exchange factory and the plans eventually to close the factory; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GummerMy right hon. Friend has had no discussions with Plessey Telecommunications about redundancies at its Liverpool, Exchange factory or about their plans to close the factory.
I was, of course, very concerned to hear about these further job losses in Liverpool. All the facilities of the Manpower Services Commission will be available to help those who are made redundant find alternative employment or train for new jobs.
