§ Sir KINGSLEY WOODasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether he is now in a position to state what arrangements have been made, in connection with the closing of certain manufacturing departments at Woolwich Arsenal for stocktaking, to secure provision for employés who, as a consequence, are being stood off from work and to secure equality of treatment?
§ Mr. JAMES HOPEI am in consultation on this subject with the authorities concerned, but I am not able to make any statement at present.
