§ 7. Mrs. Mannasked the Minister of Supply the cause of redundancy at his Department's works in Coatbridge; how many workers are affected; and what steps are being taken to find them alternative employment.
§ Mr. Aubrey Jones:Redundancy at the Ministry of Supply vehicle repair depot at Coatbridge, which is managed by a contractor, is due to a reduction in the number of vehicles to be repaired for the Armed Services. Forty-seven workers are affected and I understand that local officers of the Ministry of Labour are doing everything possible to find other jobs for them.
