HC Deb 29 July 1946 vol 426 c509
36. Mr. Proctor

asked the Minister of Transport under what authority Arthur Chaplin, L.N.E.R. ticket collector, was dismissed by the L.N.E.R. following upon his conviction for an offence in connection with clothes rationing at Old Street court on 18th July.

Mr. Barnes

Mr. Arthur Chaplin has not been dismissed by the L.N.E.R. The statement made by the company's legal representative during the prosecution that he would be dismissed was due to a misunderstanding, and was incorrect.
