§ 67. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Labour how much the work done by Remploy Limited in Aberdeen has increased during the last 10 years; how many persons are now employed there; what are his plans for an extension of that work; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MarshOver the past ten years the gross value of the output of the Remploy factory at Aberdeen has more 9W than doubled. Fifty-one severely disabled persons are at present employed. Production work is being reorganised to meet changing requirements in the knitwear industry and it is expected that as a result there will be an increase in work for the factory and in the number of disabled work people.
