HC Deb 06 March 1956 vol 549 c175W
11. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Labour to state the number of people unemployed as a result of the closing down of Hopkinson's Electric Company, Cardiff; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Four men and twenty-one women discharged by this firm were registered as unemployed at the Cardiff Employment Exchange on the 1st March. Over 200 workers have already accepted employment with the new tenant of the factory. Of those looking for work the Exchange has placed twenty-two and will endeavour to place other redundant workers in alternative employment.
