HC Deb 08 February 1940 vol 357 cc416-7W
Mr. R. Gibson

asked the Minister of Labour whether his inquiries into the dismissal by employers of an employé while serving in the Auxiliary Fire Service, coupled with an intimation of refusal to re-employ the employéat the end of the war, as communicated to him by the hon. Member for Greenock on 12th December, 1939, are now completed; and what action he has taken or proposes to take in view of the employers' intimation?

Mr. E. Brown

I have given careful consideration to the papers which have been submitted to me in this matter and have not found in them any evidence that this employer has exceeded his legal rights either as regards terminating the engagement of the employéin question or as regards declining to give a promise of reinstatement. There is, therefore, no action that I can take.
