§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the President of the Local Government Board what decision has been given by him, on the advice of the Labour Advisory Committee, in the case of Arthur J. Duckworth, a joiner employed on the construction work at the Gretna Munitions Factory, who has been refused a badge although other workmen similarly employed have been given badges; and, as Mr. Duckworth is the secretary of the district management committee of the Carpenters' and Joiners' Union, which represents 1,700 workmen, as well as joiners' representative on the Cumberland Advisory Board, will he take steps to see that this case is justly considered and treated?
§ Mr. MONTAGUMy right hon. Friend, the President of the Local Government Board, has asked me to answer this question. Mr. Duckworth's case has already been brought to the attention of the Ministry, and the issue of a badge to him has been authorised.
