HC Deb 21 February 1967 vol 741 c261W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Labour if he will state the number of mineworkers who have been redeployed into other industries during the last 12 months inside Wales and Scotland, respectively.

Mr. Fernyhough

The information is available only for the second half of 1966. During that period 75 workers in Wales and 21 in Scotland who had been discharged as a result of recent colliery closures and were registered with the Ministry found work or were placed by the Ministry in employment other than coalmining.
