TERRITORIAL ENLISTMENT (T. HAMBLIN AND COMPANY).

HC Deb 21 June 1939 vol 348 cc2266-7W

Mr. Jagger

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that Messrs. T. Hamblin and Company, dispensing opticians, of Aybrook Street, W.I, are asking their emploéys to join the Territorials and dismissing them if they decline to do so; and whether he will take legislative action to prevent employers penalising their employés in this way?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I have no information to this effect. It is not a matter in which my right hon. Friend has authority to intervene.
