HC Deb 24 October 1939 vol 352 c1213W
Mr. Tomlinson

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that Ronald Evetts, aged 22 years, of 6, Highfield Terrace, Audenshaw, who is in receipt of unemployment assistance allowance, has been refused available employment at the Rotunda Mills and at the Texas Mills, Ashton-under-Lyne, because of the possibility of his being called up shortly for military service; whether representations are made to firms who take this attitude; and whether, in such cases, any special efforts are made by his Department to find employment?

Mr. E. Brown

I am making inquiries into this case and will communicate with the hon. Member.
