HC Deb 03 April 1941 vol 370 c1167
63. Mr. G. Macdonald

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that the present method of enforcing discipline in the Royal Ordnance factories is not designed to securing the maximum output; and whether he will have the whole matter fully investigated to try and secure some alternative method?

Mr. Macmillan

If the hon. Member will let me know more precisely to what methods of enforcing discipline he refers, I shall be pleased to look into the matter.

Mr. Macdonald

Is the Minister aware that the present method is to suspend people for a number of days for some indiscipline, and that in a North-West factory over 1,000 man-shifts have been lost in three months by this method of discipline?
