HC Deb 23 November 1959 vol 614 c6W
65. Mr. Ross

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of recent and projected changes in industry in the County of Ayr, he will institute an inquiry into the employment prospects and needs of young people in that County over the next seven years.

Mr. P. Thomas

I am keeping youth employment prospects under the closest review, but I do not think the position in Ayrshire calls for the setting up of a special inquiry.

66. Mr. Ross

asked the Minister of Labour the number of men connected with the engineering industry presently registered as unemployed in Ayrshire.

Mr. Heath

On 12th October, 1959, 919 in the engineering, electrical goods, shipbuilding, marine engineering and vehicle industries.
