HC Deb 26 February 1973 vol 851 cc248-9W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what further action he proposes to take following the details from ICI Ltd. concerning the redundancy retraining and reinstatement of employees affected by the transfer of the company's research and development department from Pontypool to Harrogate.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I am in close touch with the firm and the progress that is being made in its discussions with its staff. I have also arranged that the Welsh Office will participate in the work of the group comprising representatives of the firm, the county council and the district council, to consider other uses for the site and buildings.
