§ Mr. Kirbyasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he has any knowledge of men who were mobilised in the recent emergency and who, upon demobilisation, were not re-employed by their former employers; what steps he is taking to secure the reinstatement of such men; and will he give the names of the employers concerned to the House?
Captain BalfourThree such cases amongst men called out for service with the Auxiliary Air Force were brought to my notice. These were referred to the Ministry of Labour and I am informed that all three men are now in employment, one having been reinstated by his previous employer. In these circumstances, I am not satisfied that it is desirable to give the names of the employers concerned.
