Summary of case: I am the father of four children under the age of 4. I also support my 68 year old father as he had a stroke some years ago and has recently been diagnosed with an incurable foot problem. He is also subject to fits and I feel it would be unwise for him to be left overnight 'with only a woman in the house'. I am willing to take on work of national importance or to take substitution work on a farm as long as I could return home at night.
Supporting evidence: No
Date and decision of North Riding Appeal Tribunal: 24 May 1917 Dismissed. |
