HC Deb 31 July 1958 vol 592 cc192-3W
Mr. Fernyhough

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that Courtauld's knitting mill on the Bode Estate, Jarrow, is closing down at the end of the year and that, in consequence, 210 men and women will lose their employment; and what steps he intends to take to provide alternative employers for the workers affected.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Yes. My local officers will do all that is possible to find suitable vacancies for any redundant workers who need help in finding other employment.
