HC Deb 21 July 1970 vol 804 c108W
Mr. Alexander Wilson

asked the Minister of Technology what steps he is taking to provide alternative jobs and industry for the 240 employees being made redundant as a consequence of the contraction of manpower in the firm of Stevenson's L.T.D. (Carpets), Burnbank, Hamilton.

Mr. Ridley

Inducements under the Local Employment Acts are available to firms moving into or expanding in Hamilton. I am assured that the full resources of the Department of Employment and Productivity will be available to assist those being made redundant.
