§ Mr. Alexander Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many of the 442 male workers made redundant within the Hamilton constituency in March and April, 1971, have yet to find new employment.
§ Mr. BryanAs I have explained to the hon. Member, the correct figure of male redundancies notified in the Hamilton constituency for these two months is 487. I regret that information is not available in the form required but it may help the hon. Member to know that at 20th March, 1972, 17 of the 325 male workers made redundant in the Hamilton constituency in March, 1971, were identified as still registered as unemployed. These workers were among those discharged in the Rolls-Royce redundancy, the outcome of which has been monitored by the Department. Similar follow-up information, however, is not available in respect of the male workers made redundant in the constituency in April, 1971.
