HC Deb 07 November 1916 vol 87 c73W
Mr. NUGENT

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether Messrs. M'Kendrick, of Motherwell, a controlled establishment, were allowed to exclude Catholics from employment in their factory; and whether the Government intend to allow the local Labour Exchange to assist this firm in preventing Catholics from obtaining industrial employment?

Mr. PRETYMAN

The first part of the question is one for the Minister of Munitions, and I am in communication with him on the subject. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on the 26th October to the hon. Member for Bridgeton.
