§ 79. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that the reduction in orders of aeroplanes for the Transport Command at the Bristol Aeroplane Company factory has meant the dismissal of skilled workmen who will experience great difficulty in finding other suitable employment, and discourage young men in the future from entering this industry; and what steps he is taking to reduce to a minimum the hardships caused by these reductions.
§ Mr. IsaacsI am aware of the redundancies that have been occurring at the Bristol Aeroplane Company, Limited. The machinery of the employment exchange service has been available to those who have registered for employment, and I am pleased to say that over half have already been placed in alternative employment.
