§ Mr. J. H. THOMASasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that employers are dismissing single men with a view to compelling them to enlist, and having regard to the magnificence of our men to the nation's call he will take steps to inform all employers that actions of intimidation of any kind are not calculated to help but rather to injure the voluntary sacrifice demanded at this stage?
§ The PRIME MINISTERSome cases of this kind have come to my notice, but I have no reason to think that the practice is at all general, and public opinion may, I hope, be trusted to discourage, as it should be discouraged, any such action on the part of employers.
