Since the company in question went into receivership, in November 1982, the Industrial Development Authority, in conjunction with the Receiver, have been endeavouring to obtain a suitable purchaser for the assets of the company, with a view to the resumption of manufacture and employment.

The Deputy may be assured, however, that the Industrial Development Authority will maintain their efforts to secure a successful take-over and the resumption of employment as soon as possible.
