§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Minister of Labour what facilities employment exchange, offer Scottish workers transferring to jobs in England.
§ Mr. Fernyhough:Employment exchanges can help workers who wish to obtain jobs in any other part of Great Britain by bringing to their notice particulars of suitable vacancies elsewhere or sending particulars of individuals for consideration by the appropriate exchange in the area of the worker's choice.
Financial assistance under the Ministry's Resettlement Transfer Scheme is available to an unemployed worker (or a worker in employment who will be involved in redundancy within six months) who has no early prospect of obtaining employment in his home area and who obtains employment, approved by my Department, in any other area beyond reasonable daily travelling distance.
