HC Deb 07 May 1918 vol 105 cc1977-8
37. Mr. ARCHDALE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the labourers at the new aerodrome near Dublin who absented themselves without leave from work on the late anti-Conscription holiday demanded the expulsion, on their return, of the few loyal workmen who remained at their post in this time of national danger; and what course the manager took?

The UNDERSECRETARY of STATE, AIR MINISTRY (Major Baird)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and to the second part that of the four men who did not join the strikers two went back to work on 29th April, and the other two will be taken on again if they will make application.
