HC Deb 14 December 1916 vol 88 c896W
Mr. DEVLIN

asked the Minister of Munitions, whether workers in Queen's-Island, Belfast, have been served with a form requiring full particulars as to age of workers, trade, and whether attested; and, if so, will he state by whose authority and for what purpose such a form has been issued and persons asked to fill it?

Mr. KELLAWAY

On the information which my hon. Friend gives I am unable to give him a definite answer. If he will let me have a copy of the form he has in mind, I shall be glad to make inquiries.

Mr. DEVLIN

asked the Minister of Munitions whether he has yet come to a decision with regard to the establishment of a munitions factory in Belfast, to provide employment for the textile workers now engaged on short time in that city, and who, for this reason, are unable to earn a living wage?

Mr. KELLAWAY

I am sorry that I can only refer my hon. Friend to the reply which was given to a similar question which he put on 30th November.
