Many British Jews have been adversely affected by the current recession in the British textile industry, it was revealed here today at a meeting of the British section of the World Jewish Congress.
The meeting, called at the request of the secretariat of the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations, was attended by representatives of groups in Britain which are interested in migration problems. Besides the British-born Jews who are losing their jobs as a result of the recession, there are many aliens who, when they lose their jobs, have additional problems, speakers at the parley emphasized.
