HC Deb 20 December 1916 vol 88 cc1484-5W
Mr. AINSWORTH

asked the Minister of Munitions whether in agreeing to the increase of wages asked for by the Welsh miners it was stipulated that full time should be worked; and whether in all cases of conditional exemption from service with the Colours it is understood that such exemption can only be allowed so long as full time is being worked?

Mr. G. ROBERTS

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part should be addressed to the Home Secretary.
