§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Minister of Labour what steps he is taking to find alternative employment in respect of industrial and non-industrial employees with the Ministry of Defence at Bovington and Lulworth recently declared redundant; and what retraining facilities are available.
§ Mr. FernyhoughI understand that this run-down will take place gradually over a period of months. We are arranging to interview any employees who are declared redundant before their employment comes to an end so as to give them every possible assistance in finding other jobs. Any who need and desire retraining can if suitable be considered for a course at a Government Training Centre.
