HC Deb 21 May 1998 vol 312 c470W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what action his Department has taken following the recent redundancies announced at Assi Doran Buckley, and Kimberley Clark, Deeside; and if he will make a statement. [42455]

Mr. Hain

The training and enterprise council (CELTEC) and the Employment Service in North Wales are liaising with both companies' consultants to see what help can be given to the staff who are to be made redundant. As a "significant redundancy", employees from both companies can be considered for training for work immediately rather than having to wait six months.
