KEW GARDENS (CONSTABLE).

HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 cc1465-6W

Mr. J. JONES

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agiculture whether, in view of the advice given to private employers with regard to the treatment of old employeès who have served with the forces, the protest against the appointment as constable of a temporary employeè at Kew Gardens will be further considered and the claims of the regular employeès who have returned from service in the forces be taken into account?

Sir A. BOSCAWEN

I have called for a full report on the circumstances of this case, and will make a further statement in a few days' time.
