HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 c1086
75. Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he will endeavour to arrange, in connection with any settlement of the mining problem, that an annual holiday, with pay, is secured to every miner in the country, as recommended by the Samuel Commission?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Ben Turner)

The view expressed by the Royal Commission was that "annual holidays with pay should be established when prosperity returned to the industry" and I hope that the matter will be considered in the industry when circumstances permit.
