HC Deb 14 March 1960 vol 619 c61W
Mr. Fernyhough

asked the Minister of Labour what steps he is taking to provide work for the 140 disabled persons at present unemployed in Jarrow and Hebburn.

Mr. P. Thomas

My Disablement Resettlement Officers are doing their best to place these disabled persons in suitable employment, and they should be assisted by the additional opportunities which it is hoped will be provided in the area as a result of its inclusion in the list of development districts under the Local Employment Bill.
