HC Deb 06 December 1927 vol 211 c1168
46. Mr. T. HENDERSON

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that through a Proclamation declaring 27th December a Bank Holiday not applying to Scotland a distinction arises as between English and Scottish Government servants; and whether, if it is impracticable to make the Proclamation apply TO Scotland, measures can be taken to secure that the advantage arising out of the Proclamation to English Government servants shall be enjoyed equally by Government servants in Scotland?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Measures have been taken to secure that Government servants employed in Scotland are given a day's holiday in lieu of the Bank Holiday authorised in accordance with the Proclamation referred to for Government servants in England and Wales.
