HC Deb 02 October 1941 vol 374 c732W
Mr. Temple Morris

asked the Minister of Labour whether there 'is any available war work suitable to middle-aged men in South Wales now unemployed through the closing of the tinplate works; and whether in such cases all transfers are regarded as impossible?

Mr. Bevin

I have discussed this matter, amongst others, with the Labour Supply (Iron and Steel) Committee for the Wales Region. No difficulty is anticipated in finding employment for tin-plate workers in the iron and steel industry or in other work of national importance.
