39. Mr. T. THOMSONasked the Prime Minister what is the total number of civil servants of all classes who are entitled to over four weeks' annual holiday.
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hilton Young)I have been asked to reply. I regret that precise-information is not immediately available. The number of civil servants entitled, subject to the exigencies of the public service, to annual leave in excess of four weeks a year is certainly but a small percentage of the whole, and the value of exact figures would not appear to warrant, the labour and cost of their compilation.
