HC Deb 28 June 1948 vol 452 cc179-80W
80. Mr. Piratin

asked the Minister of Supply why Mr. Ronald Frodsham, a fitter employed at the Royal Ordnance Factory, Radway, was dismissed; what specific complaint about his work or conduct was made; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

According to my information, Mr. Frodsham is associated with the Communist Party in such a way as to raise legitimate doubts about his reliability. I propose to give him the usual notification under the terms of the Prime Minister's statement of 15th March, 1948. If Mr. Frodsham claims that he does not come within the scope of the Prime Minister's statement, an opportunity will be given to him to state his case and to appear before the three advisers.
