HC Deb 28 January 1971 vol 810 cc161-2W
30. Sir A. V. Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what action he is taking to assist the employees declared redundant by Hawker Siddeley Aviation Limited at Woodford and Chadderton in finding alternative employment.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Until discussions between the management and the unions have been completed, the action which can be taken by my Department is very limited. However, provisional plans are being prepared in consultation with the company for giving the necessary information and advice about other jobs to employees who became redundant. We also propose to make special approaches on their behalf to other employers in the area.
