§ Mr. Gallacherasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that on 20th October, when an air-raid warning was sounded at Markinch, Fife, workers at John Haig and Company, Limited, were told by the manager to leave the shelter at one o'clock and go home for their dinner; that the cooperage foreman threatened to lock out men who refused to go through the streets while the warning was on; and that men who did agree to go home were stopped in the streets by wardens and made to take shelter; and whether action will be taken against firms who attempt to discourage their workers from taking shelter during periods of warning?
§ Sir J. AndersonI was not aware of the incident to which the hon. Member refers, but I will have inquiry made.
