§ 75. Mr. Thomas Coxasked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps 267W his Department is taking to help the staff of J. Shorts Data Processing Company, 92-94 Newman Street, London, W.2, who have become unemployed, to find alternative employment; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Chichester-Clark:My Department will do everything possible to help those who have become unemployed as a result of the closure of J. Short Data Centre. Unfortunately, however, because of the circumstances of the closure, it was not possible to make the usual advance arrangements to interview and advise the firms workpeople about other employment.
