HC Deb 30 June 1972 vol 839 c429W
Mr. Money

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many skilled men he has been notified will be made unemployed in the Ipswich area as a result of the proposal by Newton Chambers and Company to close Ransomes and Rapier.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

The latest information available suggests that of a possible 700 redundancies up to 200 could be skilled men; but final decisions as to timing, numbers and people involved have not been taken.
