§ 60. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Minister of Munitions whether an employé of Messrs. Hewitt and Kellett, of Bradford, applied en 4th May for a leaving certificate before the Bradford Munitions Tribunal on the ground that he had become skilled as a steel-cutter and could do work more to the national advantage than his employment as a labourer, and that the application was refused, and that the chairman informed the applicant that if he left his employment he would be unemployed for six weeks, and might in the meantime be forced into the Army; whether it is with his sanction that the Munitions of War Act should be reinforced in this way by the Military Service Act; and whether he will cause inquiry to be made?
§ Dr. ADDISONMy attention has been called to this case, and I am making further inquiries.
