asked whether any serious inconvenience has arisen from the liberty given to munition workers to change their employment; whether that liberty extends to Army Reserve munitions workers; and, if not, what, if any, are the objections to extending it to them?

The liberty given to munitions workers to change their employment has caused serious inconvenience, and it is not, therefore, desirable to extend the same liberty to Army Reserve munition workers.

Is the hon. Member aware that very great dissatisfaction is felt among the Army Reserve munition workers because they are placed at a disadvantage as compared with other munition workers?

That is hardly the case. The Army Reserve munition workers entered into this undertaking.
