HC Deb 03 July 1964 vol 697 c293W
Mr. Symonds

asked the Minister of Labour what alternative employment there is for the 160 men made redundant at Windscale works.

Mr. Whitelaw

Of the 160 men who were working at Windscale for a contractor and who became redundant on 29th May about half have been placed or have found work elsewhere and about half are still unemployed. The opportunities for those who are seeking local work are limited at present but our local officers are doing all they can to assist them to find employment.
