§ Mr. HareMy Local Employment Committee in Swindon, upon which the Railways Board, the local authority and other interests are represented have been discussing this problem and my local officers are in close touch with the management of the workshops. So far redundant workers have found alternative employment without undue difficulty and I am hopeful that they will continue to do so.
§ 88. Mr. F. Noel-Bakerasked the Minister of Labour what special facilities he will provide for redundant Swindon railway workers to re-equip them for appropriate alternative employment.
§ Mr. HareThe facilities of the Government Training Centre at Bristol are available for redundant Swindon railway workers who are suitable for training in skilled crafts. I plan to open a further centre in Gloucester.
