§ 44. Mr. Dribergasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that several hundred employees of Cape Insulation Limited may shortly be rendered redundant by closure of their Barking factory; and if he will do all that is necessary, in consultation with this firm, to ensure that those workers who wish to remain in the firm's employment are enabled to transfer to other factories as painlessly as possible, while those who wish to remain in Barking receive generous severance pay and are assisted to find other employment speedily.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsThis firm announced on 7th July that about 400 workers will become redundant between the spring and autumn of 1967. They will offer vacanices at their Uxbridge works to those who wish to stay in their employment and will make severance payments to long service workers on a more generous basis than they are required to do by the Redundancy Payments Act. They will give our local officers facilities to interview at the factory those who need their help in finding other jobs.
