HC Deb 27 November 1951 vol 494 cc131-2W
96. Rev. LI. Williams

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will arrange with the local omnibus company for travelling facilities to be afforded to the employees of the Remploy Factory in Abertillery at the end of their day shift, in view of their physical disability and the steepness of the hill leading from the factory to the town.

Sir W. Monckton

I am informed that the local omnibus company is willing to extend one of its services to the Remploy Factory, and is now seeking the necessary sanction from the licensing authority.

97. Mr. Mainwaring

asked the Minister of Labour whether an additional factory in Rhondda still forms a part of the future programme by the Remploy Corporation; and when it may be possible to give effect to the proposition.

Sir W. Monckton

Yes, but I am unable to give a forecast of when building may commence because, as the House is aware, it is not proposed that Remploy Limited should build any new factories until the present organisation and trading position have been consolidated.
