HC Deb 07 December 1908 vol 198 c61
MR. T. F. RICHARDS (Wolverhampton, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that, in connection with a pension scheme for foremen at the Weedon Ordnance Factory there is a rule that any foreman participating in the scheme must cease to be a member of any trade society; and whether he will make inquiry into the matter, with a view to stopping the imposition of this disability on trade unionists in Government employ.

MR. HALDANE

Will the hon. Member kindly refer to my reply to a Question on the subject of the pension scheme for foremen of the Army Ordnance Department put by the hon. Member for the St. Patrick's Division of Dublin on 17th June last, and especially to the last sentence of that reply.
