HC Deb 06 May 1958 vol 587 c89W
29. Mr. Brockway

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he proposes to take to prevent the growth of unemployment and short time in the engineering industry now extending to previously prosperous districts as evidenced by the trend in Slough.

Mr. Erroll

None. Activity continues high in the engineering industry and unemployment in engineering is even lower at Slough than over the country as a whole.
