HC Deb 09 May 1952 vol 500 c73W
Mr. Callaghan

asked the Minister of Labour how far it is the normal practice under the dock workers' employment scheme regulations, for dockers, convicted in a civil court of stealing in circumstances not connected with their work, to be dismissed from their employment.

Sir W. Monckton

I understand that the National Dock Labour Board have not laid down any general rules on this point, but that each case is decided on its merits by the appropriate local dock labour board, subject to a right of appeal to an Appeal Tribunal.
