§ Mr. Edwin Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the costs to his Department of a redundant married coalminer who has to change home due to being transferred to 533W a pit in another district when this is organised by his Department and of a redundant married coalminer or other married industrial worker who, also organised by his Department, has to transfer his home to work in some other industry.
§ Mr. BryanAllowances to redundant married coalminers who are transferred to pits in other districts are paid by the National Coal Board.
A redundant married coalminer, or any other redundant worker, who is placed by my Department in employment in another industry beyond daily travelling distance of his home, and is eligible, will receive the grants and allowances offered under my Department's Resettlement Transfer Scheme. The cost varies, depending on individual circumstances.
