HC Deb 16 October 1952 vol 505 c363
16. Mr. Hobson

asked the Minister of Labour why W. Binns and Son, milk carriers, Silsden, near Keighley, refused to re-employ John Harry Spencer Binns, 25, Foster Avenue, Silsden, on his return from Z Reserve training with 539 Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery, and if he will take the necessary action to secure his re-instatement.

Sir W. Monckton

I am having inquiries made and will write to the hon. Member.

Mr. Hobson

While thanking the right hon. and learned Gentleman for that reply, may I ask if he will expedite his inquiries because, prima facie, there appears to have been a flagrant breach of the law in this respect?

Sir W. Monckton

We are going as fast as we can. We were a little incommoded by the fact that the name was wrong in the first instance, but we have now overcome that hindrance.
