§ Captain C. CRAIGasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether he is aware that Charles McGrub was lately discharged from, the Aldergrove aerodrome, county Antrim, after having worked there for twelve months; that McGrub had served with the Colours throughout a considerable portion of the War; that many men who did not join the Colours have been kept on at the aerodrome; and whether, in view of the pledges of the Government that they would do all they could for ex-Service men, he will see that McGrub is reinstated in his position at the aerodrome at Aldergrove?
§ Major-General SEELYI find that Charles McGrub, after being engaged at the Aldergrove Aerodrome on 5th June,. 1918, left work on the 5th September. He came back on the 12th of that month, but was discharged with 150 others on the l7th May last, as there was no longer work for these men to do. Of the 150 men who have been retained preference has been given in every possible case to ex-Army men.
