§ 43. Sir K. WOODasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether in connection with the closing of certain manufacturing depart- 860 ments at Woolwich Arsenal for stocktaking, certain employés who, as a consequence, are being stood off from work are being directed to apply to the local Employment Exchange for out-of-work donation, whilst others are receiving remuneration in accordance with the regulations of the ordnance factories; and whether he proposes to take such action as will secure equality of treatment for all employés?
Mr. HOPEI am having special inquiries made on the subject, and will communicate with my hon. Friend.
