§ 97. Mr. C. DUNCANasked the Minister of Munitions whether he has received any representations from the National Union of Shop Assistants with regard to the position of shop assistants in the postponement of this year's Bank Holidays; and whether any arrangements will be made to ensure that these shop assistants shall have other holidays in lieu?
§ Sir G. CAVEMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. Under the Proclamation recently issued shop assistants who, in consequence of the postponement of the Whitsun and August Bank holidays were deprived of holidays which, either by agreement or custom, they would otherwise have received, and who have not already been given equivalent holidays in lieu, are entitled to receive such equivalent holidays before 1st March next.
