HC Deb 13 July 1916 vol 84 c548W
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty why men with thirteen years' service employed at Bull Point Depot, Devonport, are receiving papers calling them up to the Colours while men who have entered since the War are being retained as indispensable; and if he is aware of the belief among the workmen that the discrimination is because certain men are relatives of friends or officials, and the men singled out for Army service are members of the union who have been prominent in trade union matters?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I have called for a report.
