HC Deb 13 November 1940 vol 365 cc1717-8W
Mr. E. Smith

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Aircraft Production why men are put on short time, and others discharged, in the aircraft industry; whether this is due to change in type or method of production; and whether he will consider a more planned method for dealing with the workpeople who have and are making a great effort instead of the method of discharge with its effect on the morale of all associated with the men affected?

Colonel Llewellin

I am not aware of any general tendency to discharge, or to put on short time, workers in the aircraft industry, but if my hon. Friend has any particular case in mind and will let me know the particulars I will certainly look into it.
