Did you mean employ?
Mr William Hannan: ...cent. Government training centres serve a good purpose. We have only two. One in Granton has been closed and I should like to know why. The resources have been transferred to Hillington. Perhaps Remploy offers, the best opportunity for dealing with this problem. I note from the Ministry of Labour Report that five new Remploy factories were built in 1951, but that not one was built in...
Sir Walter Monckton: I can assure the hon. Member that view is not taken by me or by my Department. We do our best to see that opportunities are given. There are in that area, as the hon. Member probably knows, three Remploy factories for those requiring employment under sheltered conditions. This is an area in which it is difficult to find employment for disabled people who do not require sheltered conditions.
Mr James Griffiths: ...unemployable at 50 years of age, with 15 years to go before he reaches the retirement age which is laid down, to write himself off at the age of 50. This is the problem we tried to meet. We built Remploy factories in the effort to do it. We did not find the solution. I do not criticise hon. Members opposite for this; we did not solve it, either. It is a very difficult problem. We were...
Oral Answers to Questions — Remploy Factory, Hunslet (Disabled Workers)
Mr Harold Finch: ...on training and rehabilitation or the employment of disabled men. There are men unable to do any but the very lightest work who are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain employment. The Remploy factories have come to their aid, I know. There are 6,000 seriously disabled men at present at Remploy factories. I wonder whether some further instructions could be issued by Government...
Mr. J. T. Hall: asked the Minister of Labour the number of registered disabled unemployed in the county borough of Gateshead; the number employed at the Remploy factory at the latest convenient date; and the corresponding figures of a year ago.
Sir Barnett Stross: ...£3 18s. 1d. at the time of his injury. That figure has been revised upwards to£5 13s. 8d. That is the notional increase, of which we have heard so much today. This man has been found work at a Remploy factory. Hon. Members know that those factories do not employ men who are normally fit for work outside but only men who really must have sheltered employment. His earnings are slightly...
Remploy Factories (Staff)
...of any town in the South-Eastern region. At the request of the various Ministries, Brighton Corporation sterilised three-quarters of an acre of land at East Moulescoomb for the erection of a Remploy factory. I cannot imagine a town in the country that needs a Remploy factory without any further delay more than Brighton does. On 12th June last I asked the Minister when a Remploy factory...
Remploy Factories
Mr Arthur Pearson: ...disability sustained in industry, and we ought to do something more for them. One of the great humanitarian jobs that we did was to make provision for the severely disabled men in the factories of Remploy, Ltd., but there is still a residue whom we are failing to place. Do not let us numb our senses to the fact that they are there and that we are able to do something for them. I would...

...are very worried about the Home Secretary's decision to increase the working hours in prisons, as we know the competition which exists for work in Government Departments as between prisoners and Remploy employees? Is the Minister sure that this will not adversely affect Remploy?
Remploy Ltd. (Re-organisation)
Sir Barnett Stross: Would the Minister bear in mind that part at least of this problem is covered by the Remploy factories in the district, and can he promise the House that he will use his influence to see that Government Departments give larger and more frequent orders, so that at least 50 or 60 per cent. of the output from these factories is from that source?
Mr Frank Hayman: asked the Minister of Labour whether he has reached any conclusions on the possibility of providing some kinds of work at home for the physically disabled who are outside the scope of Remploy, Limited.
