HC Deb 22 April 1959 vol 604 c43W
10. Mr. Randall

asked the Minister of Labour the number of men declared redundant on the closing of the Gateshead Locomotive Works; how many are still unemployed; and what steps are being taken to find them other employment.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Forty-one men were discharged when the works closed in March and 10 of them remain unemployed. My local officers are making every effort to place them in suitable jobs.
