HC Deb 05 December 1966 vol 737 cc197-8W
77. Mr. Scott

asked the Minister of Labour if he will list the principal industries now short of manpower which it is intended should benefit from redeployment.

Mr. Gunter

I would refer the hon. Member to the categories given in my speech on 21st October.—[Vol. 734, c. 681.]

92. Mr. Edelman

asked the Minister of Labour what records he has of the redeployment of workers from the motor car industry into other export industries of a comparable labour-conversion factor; and whether he is satisfied with the redeployment of such workers.

Mr. Gunter

Records are kept showing the main groups of industries to which redundant British Motor Corporation Workers have gone, and I gave details to the House on 30th November [Vol. 737, c. 460–72]. Detailed information about movement into comparable export industries is not available, but, in general, the trends revealed so far are not discouraging.
