HC Deb 21 June 1955 vol 542 c53W
Mr. Mort

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to alleviate unemployment in the Swansea area due to impending redundancy on a heavy scale at the Landore Works of the Imperial Chemical Industries.

Mr. P. Morris

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the redundancy arising at the Imperial Chemical Industries Works, Landore, Swansea; and what steps he is taking to provide alternative employment.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I understand from my right hon. and learned Friend the Minister of Labour that interviews are being arranged with the workers affected and that there are reasonable prospects that they will find other employment. The Government will continue their efforts to introduce new industry to West South Wales and generally to increase the level of employment in this part of the South Wales Development Area.
