HC Deb 11 May 1916 vol 82 cc888-9
13. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he proposes to notify the tribunals that in the view of the Government the chief officials of trade unions are engaged in work of public importance which would justify their being exempted from the operation of the Military Service Act, 1916?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Long)

As at present advised, I do not think it necessary to issue a direction dealing specially with this matter.
