HC Deb 15 June 1939 vol 348 c1549W
Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that Mr. F. G. Harris was dismissed by Messrs. Woodlands Laundry, 86, Bartholomew Street, Newbury, for refusing to work overtime when he wished to attend a National Service lecture organised by the Red Cross Society; that his appeal was disallowed by the court of referees; and whether any action can be taken to prevent similar discharges in future?

Mr. E. Brown

Inquiries are being made into this case and I will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
