HC Deb 08 February 1972 vol 830 cc338-9W
Dr. Gilbert

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what proposals he has for finding new employment for the 147 men and women who will lose their jobs if the British Steel Corporation proceeds with its announced intention to close the Cookley Cold Rolling Mill.

Mr. Bryan

It is too early yet to make any detailed arrangements but all the resources of my Department including a "job team" for advance interviewing, canvassing for vacancies, and opportunities for training will be made available. as appropriate, to help those workpeople becoming redundant to obtain alternative employment.
