HC Deb 30 June 1967 vol 749 c149W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the short notice given to employees of the British Indestructo Glass factory at Park Royal, N.W.10, of the proposed closure, he will take special steps to assist the workers who will be made redundant.

Mr. Gunter

Arrangements have already been made to register and interview the workers and we shall do all we can to help them to find other employment.

Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Labour how many employees he has been notified will be made redundant by the proposed closure of the British Indestructo Glass Works at Park Royal, N.W.10; and what is being done to ensure that any specialised skills are not lost.

Mr. Gunter

I understand that about 480 workers will become redundant but some may be offered employment by the Triplex Safety Glass Company Limited. We shall do what we can to find suitable jobs for the skilled glass workers but the number of opportunities in their trade is limited in North London.
