§ 7. Colonel J. R. H. Hutchisonasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air why Mr. R. H. Hunter was discharged from No. 23 Maintenance Unit, Aldergrove.
§ Mr. de FreitasThe work at this Unit has been declining for some time and Mr. Hunter is one of the employees whose services are no longer required.
§ Colonel HutchisonIs the Minister aware that this highly skilled man is now unemployed? Is the real reason because he refused to leave his union and join the Amalgamated Engineering Union?
§ Mr. de FreitasWith regard to the second part of the question I have no information; as for the first point, this man was given an opportunity of transferring to work in this country and he declined to take it.
