HC Deb 13 May 1958 vol 588 c17W
58. Mr. Ainsley

asked the Minister of Labour how many of the 70 Wear-dale quarrymen have accepted other employment; and what particular prospects of employment there are for the remainder.

Mr. Wood

Of the 19 men who were first discharged, eight are known to have found other work, none of the others registered at my local offices. Another 32 men were discharged at the end of last week of whom six have already been placed in other work. Efforts to place any others who register will continue.
