§ Mr. CHARLES DUNCANasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to a notice issued by Vickers, Limited, of Erith, detailing the offences for which fines will be inflicted upon their workmen; and whether his Department can decide that such conditions put the firm outside the category of good employers, and therefore should not receive Government contracts?
