§ MR. S. COLLINS (Lambeth, Kennington)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury what is the annual leave of the new class of assistant clerks in the Statistical Office of the Customs; and whether, in view of the fact that these men remain on overtime for almost six months in the year, any extra leave is given.
(Answered by Mr. Runciman.) The annual leave of the new class of assistant clerks in the Statistical Office of the Customs is that allowed to the class generally, viz., fourteen working days, exclusive of bank holidays, up to ten years' service, and after ten years' service eighteen working days, exclusive of bank holidays. No extra leave is given on account of extra attendance; but all such attendance is paid for at the authorised overtime rates.
