11. Mr. Burke

asked the Minister of Labour if he will indicate what progress has been made with the provision of a factory in Burnley for disabled persons; when it is likely to be opened; and for how many persons will employment be found.

Mr. Ness Edwards

It is hoped to start building a Remploy factory at Burnley within the next two or three months and it should be completed during the second half of next year. It will provide employment for approximately 100 disabled persons.
