§ Mr. WILESasked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that Guards' bandsmen are taking the places of civilian musicians who have been locked out by the management of certain music halls and theatres owing to a dispute having arisen with reference to the signing of a new contract containing clauses which the civilian musicians consider most oppressive; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take, with a view to preventing the interference of military bandsmen in a civilian dispute?
§ Colonel SEELYIf my hon. Friend will send me particulars of the cases to which he refers, I will inquire into the matter.
