HC Deb 25 March 1907 vol 171 cc1513-4
Dr. COOPER (Southwark, Bermondsey)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether the attendants in his Department who remained on duty during the prolonged sitting will receive extra remuneration or relief from duty; and, if not, whether he will consider the advisability of recognising in some fitting manner their long hours of attendance on this occasion.

MR. HARCOURT

Arrangements for the staff of my Department at the House are made with special reference to the liability to occasional extra duty. There are relief shifts to avoid continuous duty and special privileges as to extra leave as compensation for unavoidable overtime.
