Mr. CLOUGH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Earby and Thornton Gas and Lighting Company are compelled, for the want of stokers, to restrict the supply of gas to daylight hours for the textile trades; and when Private J. E., No. 74712, 2/1st Derbyshire Yeomanry, will be released from the Colours as recommended to the War Office on 24th November last?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Orders for this man's release have been given, and if he is willing to accept employment with the firm he may be expected to start work at an early date.
