asked the Minister of Munitions if he has seen a copy of the secret character note that has been issued by the Birmingham District Engineering Employers' Association; and if he intends putting an end to this system with a view to bringing about better relationship between employesé and employers?

The note to which my hon. Friend refers has been brought to the notice of my right hon. Friend, and the matter is being dealt with urgently. A further communication will be made to my hon. Friend at the earliest possible moment.
