§ 70. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will inquire into the circumstances attending the request by Miss Agnes Adam, an organiser of the National Federation of Women Workers, for a permit to visit Invergordon in connection with her trade union duties and to audit the books; whether he is aware that she was severely cross-examined by two detectives in Glasgow on behalf of the military authorities and was asked whether she was a Socialist, and informed that her place, being a woman, was at home, and that no hope was held out to her of getting to Invergordon; whether he is aware that the woman spoken to in this way belongs to a home from which five brothers have gone on active service, one being killed and one wounded; and whether he will cause full inquiry to be made?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am having inquiry made, and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
