HC Deb 13 March 1956 vol 550 c23W
78 and 79. Mr. Grey

asked the Minister of Labour (1) what efforts are being made to find employment for those people who have been made redundant at Thorn Electrical Industries Limited, Spennymoor;

(2) how many men and women are out of work as a result of the redundancy which has occurred at Thorn Electrical Industries Limited, Spennymoor.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Out of the 84 men and 226 women who have become redundant since the new year, 19 men and 65 women were still registered as unemployed at the end of last week. Efforts are being made to find them other employment and the prospects are considered reasonably good.
