Mr. PALMERasked the Secretary of State for Air what were the special circumstances connected with the discharge from No. 1, Stores Depot, Kidbrook, S.E.3, of Mr. A. Richardson, on 2nd January, 1924: whether reduction of establishment is regarded as special circumstances; and, if not, will he give instructions that this man shall, according to the regulations for civilian employés at Air Ministry establishments (A. P. 826), receive one week's wages in lieu of notice?
§ Mr. LEACHOwing to a misconstruction of the Regulations, which is regretted, this man did not receive a week's wages in place of notice, but this omission has since been rectified, and I may add that it has been found possible to re-engage him.
