§ 47. Mr. COWANasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to a resolution passed by the executive of the Scottish Advisory Council of the National Labour Party declaring that that body views with grave apprehension an agitation now being carried on in favour of militarism under the name of National Service, and calls upon organised labour to put an end to it by preparing to declare a general strike in the event of the Government giving way to the present agitation, which is declared by the council to be unscrupulous and unnecessary; and what steps, if any, he proposes to take in view of the contingency contemplated in the resolution referred to?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have no reason to apprehend that the contingency contemplated is likely to arise.
