§ 51. Mr. Harold Walkerasked the Minister of Transport how many skilled and unskilled workers will become redundant at Doncaster British Railways workshops arising from the Board's decision to cease manufacturing locomotives there after 1965; and what measures he proposes to take to ensure employment for the technically qualified specialist staff who will be otherwise redundant.
§ Mr. SwinglerThe first part of my hon. Friend's Question is a matter of management, and it can only be answered by the British Railways Board.
On the second part, I am assured that whenever there is any redundancy of staff the Railways Board and the Ministry of Labour make special efforts to find suitable alternative employment.
