§ 72. Mr. John Rankinasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will inquire into the employment prospects of 194W 450 staff presently employed with the British Steel Corporation Tubes Division at 41 Oswald Street, Glasgow, which is soon to be transferred to Corby, with a view to promoting alternative employment in Glasgow.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithI understand that the majority of the staff at present employed by the British Steel Corporation at 41, Oswald Street are being offered jobs in other Corporation establishments, including some in Glasgow and Lanarkshire.
Until the outcome of these offers is known, together with details of those, if any, being made redundant, I am not in a position to make a statement on employment prospects.
