HC Deb 26 October 1916 vol 86 cc1292-3
55. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that the Bank Holidays at Whitsuntide and August were cancelled for State purposes, he will consider the possibility of making some arrangement, as was done in the case of the munition workers, so that bank clerks may not be deprived of the holidays due to them?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am not at present able to make any definite statement, but the question is receiving sympathetic consideration, and I trust that it will be possible to make arrangements on the lines suggested.
