HC Deb 02 December 1963 vol 685 c131W
74. Mr. Kelley

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware of the unemployment which will result from the closing down of the Yorkshire Evening News: and what jobs there are for the specialised workpeople involved in the Doncaster. area.

Mr. Godber

I am aware that redundancies are to occur and that between 50 and 60 workers are likely to lose their employment in the Doncaster area. Opportunities locally for journalists and skilled printing workers in the industry are very limited, but I understand that the trade unions concerned are already receiving offers of employment in other areas for their members.
