asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether the rights of women workers in the clerical departments of the railway companies have been safeguarded in regard to their reinstatement after the war and continuity of membership of superannuation fund, when such employees have been on the permanent staff, and have permission from the company to join such forces as the Women's Royal Naval Service, or is there any difference between them and those who have waited for the compulsory call; and, if so, what is the reason for the differentiation in the treatment?
