HC Deb 25 June 1968 vol 767 cc72-4W
Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has made to Rolls Royce Limited following the announcement of the closure of their factory at Maes-y-coed Road, Cardiff; what has been the result of those representations; and what further action he proposes to take to safeguard the jobs of the workers at that factory.

Mr. George Thomas

I have arranged a meeting with the Deputy Chairman of Rolls Royce Limited and the Managing Director of the Bristol Engines Division of Rolls Royce Limited, to discuss the proposed closure of the Rolls Royce factory in Cardiff. I cannot anticipate the outcome of the meeting.
