§ 26. Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Secretary of State for War how many local authorities are refusing to grant facilities to their employees to attend annual training in T.A. camps or other auxiliary forces.
§ Mr. BellengerThis information is not available at the War Office.
§ Major Legge-BourkeIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that various committees of the Edmonton Council apparently refused this?
§ Mr. BellengerNo, Sir, out I am hoping that it will be possible soon for all local authorities and employers of labour, including the Government, to co-operate more than they are perhaps doing at the present moment.
Lieut.-Colonel DowerCan the right hon. Gentleman take some steps to draw their attention to this urgent national problem?
§ Mr. BellengerWe are about to do that or are in the process of doing so.
