HC Deb 06 May 1907 vol 173 c1317
Mr. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)

To ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that a weekly Saturday half-holiday is granted in the great majority of public offices, he will take steps to have the Order in Council so amended as to allow of a like privilege being granted in all Government offices.

(Answered by Mr. Runciman.) I am not aware that a weekly half-holiday is granted in the great majority of public offices, and I am not prepared to recommend any alterations in the Orders in Council dealing with this matter.
