§ Mr. Hepworthasked the Minister of Labour how it is proposed to deal with the clauses in the Military Training Act and the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces Act regarding the reservation of employment for military trainees and reservists; who is to set the law in motion in cases of infringement; and who will defray the cost of doing so?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe relevant sections of the Military Training Act and the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces Act place a duty upon any employer to reinstate his employé at the termination of his training or service. The Acts provide for action to be taken against an employer who fails in this duty. It is assumed that action will normally be initiated by the complainant, or his representative.
§ Mr. Stephenasked the Minister of Labour how many medical boards are being set up to carry out the medical inspection of the militiamen under the Military Training Act; and how many men each medical board may be expected to examine each day?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydOne hundred and forty-nine medical boards have been set up. They will hold one or two sessions a day, each session lasting about two and a-half hours. About 30 men will normally be examined at each session.
