Scope and content

The Nuclear power station will see 3,5000 men moving to Leiston and area in a few weeks. Pastoral provision had been made for "A" when it was built. John Lanning and Fr Hammond visited the site to discuss with the project officer. This time the workforce will be recruited locally; Irish labour is not being recruited; most will travel to the site daily; some 600 will be accommodated in a hostel in Leiston; information on catholic pastoral care will be made available to the workforce; a room will be available for priest to see staff. Fr Hammond is talking to Fr Gilmore of the Irish Chaplaincy Scheme in Britain in case a chaplaincy service is required.
