HC Deb 13 December 1971 vol 828 c32W
Mr. Dell

asked the Secretary of State for Employment at which Remploy factories on Merseyside he intends to increase sheltered employment, and by how much at each.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Remploy Ltd. aims to provide six more places at Wallasey now and nine more at Aintree early next year. In the longer term, it plans to add at least a further 25 places at Aintree. But this will be dependent on the introduction of shift working, which will involve consultation with the trade unions concerned, as well as the securing of additional work, and will take commensurately longer.
