HC Deb 29 February 1940 vol 357 cc2224-5
6. Mr. Jenkins

asked the Minister of Labour the number of complaints made to his Department concerning the dismissal from employment of young men whose ages will shortly render them liable for military service; the number of complaints investigated; and the number of employers prosecuted for improper dismissals?

Mr. E. Brown

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Rotherham (Mr. Dobbie) on 22nd February, a copy of which I am sending him.

Mr. Cocks

Are these prosecutions taken by the Department in all cases, or can a person go to the police court and ask for a summons?
