HC Deb 28 October 1975 vol 898 c466W
42. Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what action he is taking to check the rise in unemployment and short-term working of people employed in the textile industry in the North-West.

Mr. Booth

Measures recently introduced to alleviate unemployment generally should help to some extent to ameliorate unemployment and short-time working in the textile industry in the North-West. Employment in the industry should, however, benefit substantially from the measures announced by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Industry on 23rd July.—[Vol. 896, c. 558–60.]
