§ Mr. Harold Walkerasked the Secretary of State for Employment on the basis of information supplied to him, how many skilled men are to be made redundant by the proposed closure of the Doncaster Ford factory;and what are their prospects of new employment in the Doncaster area.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithI understand that about four-fifths of the current labour force of some 200 at Ford's Doncaster factory are skilled men.
Until more is known about the individuals who may be seeking new employment locally, it is not possible to make any clear assessment of their prospects.
