Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Secretary for War whether it is his custom, when receiving a representative trade union deputation of Government employés, to invite at the same time other employés who are not in the union; and, if so, will he state the reason for this, and who those unorganised employés are supposed to represent when he receives them?
§ Mr. HALDANENo, Sir. I have never invited or received unorganised employés on these occasions. I should not, however, desire to fetter the discretion of heads of departments who might be asked to receive deputations which they had good reason to believe were not representative of the class on behalf of which they were acting.
