HC Deb 05 June 1967 vol 747 c90W
31. Mr. Michael Shaw

asked the Minister of Labour what proportion of those displaced from manufacturing industry since 20th July, 1966, who are known to his Department, have taken jobs in service and in manufacturing industries, respectively.

Mr. Hattersley

Records have been kept of the re-employment of workers who lost jobs as a result of a number of the larger redundancies in manufacturing firms since July, 1966. About half went to jobs in manufacturing industries, less than a quarter to service industries and the rest to construction, Transport and extractive industries.
