asked the Minister of Labour what employment will be available for the workers on the London County Council Housing Estate, Merstham, Surrey, now in course of erection.

As far as can be foreseen, adequate employment will be available. There is already a shortage of labour in the area and local industrial estates are expected to provide jobs for 600 more men and women. Other work will also be available on the Salfords and Holmthorpe Wiggie estates close to Merstham In addition many of the incoming residents are likely to retain their present jobs; some may choose jobs other than in local factories
