§ 89. Mr. JOWETTasked the Minister of Munitions if he is aware that some of the women munition workers who did not accede to his request to work during the last holiday period have had a reduction of pay imposed upon them in consequence of their absence, and that in some cases where they answered the call for extreme effort to increase their output they are being penalised for their response to the call by having to turn out increased production without extra payment; and whether, having regard to the probability that the policy which has been adopted in these matters and to which reference is here made will lead to a refusal on the part of the workers concerned to respond to similar calls in future, he will take steps to remove the grievances complained of?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of MUNITIONS (Mr. Kellaway)No cases of the kind have been brought to my notice. If my hon. Friend will give me particulars of the instances he has in mind, I will have inquiries made.
