SECURITY RISK DISMISSALS
RIGHTS OF APPEAL (Rec. 19 p.m.) LONDON, June 22. Persons dismissed on security grounds by private firms working for the B. itish Government will, from today, have the same rights of appeal as civil servants if they lose their jobs by Government directive. The Lord Chancellor (Lord Kilmuir) announced this in a House of Lords debate last night on the case of Mr John Lang, a solicitor, whose wife was a former Communist. Mr Lang was dismissed by the Imeprial Chemical Industries organisation.
Lord Kilmuir said the new procedure of appealing to a board of three high civil servants would not apply to Mr Lang, as he had already availed himself of the alternative of submitting written representations and seeing a high officer of the Ministry of Supply.
