HC Deb 29 November 1916 vol 88 cc358-9W
Mr. JOWETT

asked the Minister of Munitions whether lads engaged in head-turning at Woolwich Arsenal are often kept all night without work; and whether Alfred J. Coventry, of 82, Keith Road, Barking, who earns 18s. a week, was suspended for one week for being ten minutes late?

Mr. PRIMROSE

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the second part, the boy in question, who was an incorrigibly bad timekeeper, was suspended for being absent on the afternoons of 31st October and 1st November, and was finally allowed to take his discharge on the 14th November
