HC Deb 30 May 1918 vol 106 c972
92. Mr. ANDERSON

asked the Minister of National Service whether any agreement has been reached between his Department and insurance companies, bankers, and the Stock Exchange in regard to military service on the part of those carrying on those concerns; and, if so, whether he will state the terms of such agreement?

Mr. BECK

The general practice is for officials of the Ministry to consider with advisory committees the cases of the employés of such concerns in relation to-the total staffs with a view to presenting an agreed case for the decision of the tribunal, but the ultimate decision is a matter for the statutory tribunals.
