Richards, Limited, Aberdeen, are on the list of contractors for his Department; whether he is aware that this firm have dismissed sixty of their workwomen, some of whom have worked for the firm for over 651 thirty years, for having joined a trade union, and refuse to reinstate them unless they give an undertaking to withdraw from the union; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.
