§ 41. Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Minister of Supply what are the conditions of employment of chief inspector of ammunition inspectors in shell factories; and why the senior inspector was dismissed without notice at a shell factory, the name of which has been supplied to his Department?
§ The Minister of Supply (Sir Andrew Duncan)The case to which the hon. Member refers was that of a fourth-class examiner. I am making inquiries, and I will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as they have been completed.
§ Mr. EdwardsIn view of the keen resentment felt in the area, will the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that he will personally probe this matter to the bottom?
§ Sir A. DuncanIt is because I am personally probing the matter to the bottom that I have not given an answer to-day.
