110. MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINEasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that cases are occurring in which employés are dismissed by employers for attending Territorial camp and for no fault in their conduct or work; and whether he can see his way to introduce legislation to penalise such employers?
§ Mr. TENNANTI am aware of only one case of recent occurrence. I shall be glad to investigate any case which the Noble Lord brings to my notice. There do not appear at present to be sufficient grounds for the legislation suggested.
MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINECould the War Office give commanding officers any idea what action they could take in such matters, as it is very hard on a man 2228 to be thrown out of employment simply because he has served his country?
§ Mr. TENNANTI entirely agree with the Noble Lord. We should be very glad to investigate any such case and take any action possible.
