HC Deb 02 March 1916 vol 80 c1208
103. Mr. CHARLES DUNCAN

asked the Under-Secretary for War whether he is aware that in the Portsmouth Garrison Orders, dated 21st February, there is inserted an advertisement to the effect that the Portsmouth Corporation has vacancies for men as stokers, cleaners, labourers, drivers, and scavengers; whether he is aware that these vacancies are caused by the corporation employés being on strike; and whether he will inform the garrison commander that such an advertisement should not be inserted in the orders?

Mr. TENNANT

I was not aware of what is stated in the question to have happened. I am obtaining a report.
