§ Mr. McGovernasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that two persons working at the works of Messrs. MacLellan and Company, Limited, Mary-hill, have, during the past few months, been discharged from their employment because they refused to attend morning prayers in the works due to their being members of a different religious faith; that they were refused benefit at the labour exchange; and will he see that persons discharged for refusing to attend religious services at their employment are not deprived of benefit?
§ Mr. E. BrownGeo. MacLellan and Company have informed me that no member of any religious faith has at any time been dismissed by them for refusing to attend the services held at their works,1538W nor can I trace any case in which unemployment benefit has been refused to any person alleged to have been dismissed by this firm in such circumstances. If the hon. Member will give me particulars of any case he has in mind I will make further inquiries.
