Employers to Pay Militia 12 Weeks' Salary London, May 15.
In the committee stage of the Military Training Bill in the House of Commons today, the Government accepted a Labour Opposition amendment providing that an employer's liability to pay a maximum of four week's salary, if he did not reinstate a man returning from military service, should be extended to 12 weeks' salary.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd, Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Labour, announced that the Government intended to arrange so that a militiaman returning from military service, and not receiving work, should receive unemployment benefit.—Reuter.
