HC Deb 16 October 1975 vol 897 cc795-6W
35. Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the closing of the STC factory in Lame, County Antrim.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

My right hon. Friend the Minister of State has been strenuous in his efforts to explore with the company solutions which would minimise the effect of its decision to run down the workforce of the Lame factory, and discussions with the company are continuing.
