§ 6. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he has received a letter dated 20th November, 1915, from Mr. F. T. Mortimer, of No. 120, Mardy Street, Cardiff, who complains of having been suddenly and with insufficient explanation dismissed from his post in the trades division of the Admiralty at Cardiff; if so, why no answer has been returned to Mr. Mortimer; and whether he has taken steps to inquire into his case and to see that justice is done to him?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe gentleman referred to in my hon. Friend's question was engaged for temporary clerical employment under the usual conditions, and he received the customary notice when it was no longer necessary to retain his services.
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI cannot say. I dare say there was. But he was engaged on terms which made it quite clear that it was quite a temporary appointment, and he was dismissed with proper notice.
