BRITISH SCHEME
DISCUSSED
London, Mar. 9. In a speech in which he explained and defended the Government'a proposals for amendment and exten- sion of the special measures of re- habilitation already applied to regions where particularly severe unemploy- meni obtains, the Minister of Labour was able to announce in the Ilouse of Commons a number of hopeful developments along lines which the Government is hoping to encourage, namely, the establishment of new Night Industries offering a bronder basis for employment.
The Minister informed the House that in South Wales, for example, a firm was arranging to set up a glass factory and another frm a biscuit factory, while a sewing machine factory at the Merthyr engineering works at Aberdare and a reinforced concrete factory at Port Talbot were also planned. Negotiations had also bern proceeding between the Gov- ernment, the Nafield Trustees and the Low Temperature Carbonisation Ltd., for the establishment of Д
