asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that Messrs. Spicer's Paper Mill at Eynsford, Kent, which has been in existence for 300 years, is to be closed down and will put many out of work; and what steps he is taking to find alternative employment for these people.

I am informed that this mill is being closed as part of a general re-organisation. The services of the employment exchange are available to help those affected to find other work.
