HC Deb 16 December 1968 vol 775 cc254-5W
98. Mr. Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what steps she is taking to provide alternative employment for the men made redundant by the complete closure of the Waverley railway route from Edinburgh to Carlisle to take effect in the spring of 1969.

Mr. Fernyhough

British Rail are still discussing possible internal transfers with employees affected by this closure. When this process is complete every effort will be made by my local officers to find suitable employment and, where appropriate, training opportunities for those who may be made redundant.
