HC Deb 26 April 1911 vol 24 c1794
Mr. MARTIN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the 22nd and 23rd June will be holidays within the meaning of the Factories Acts?

Mr. CHURCHILL

It is not compulsory under the Factory Act to give these two days as holidays, but it is permissible for an occupier either to give them as additional holidays outside the Act or to substitute them for two of the holidays or four of the half-holidays allowed in his works in pursuance of the Act.
