§ Mr. ANDERSONasked the Minister of Munitions whether he is aware that cases affecting women workers were heard last week before Munitions Courts without a woman assessor being present; whether, in accordance with the Munitions of War 1385W Amendment Act, such assessors have been appointed; and, if so, will a list of such assessors be published?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe cases referred to in the question had not previously been brought to my notice, but from my hon. Friend's statement it seems clear that they must have been heard before 28th February, the date on which the statutory rules requiring the presence of women assessors came into force. Invitations to serve as women assessors were sent out last week.
