HC Deb 05 May 1938 vol 335 c1004
8. Mr. Benjamin Smith

asked the Minister of Labour whether it is proposed to introduce legislation to amend the Trade Boards Acts and the Agricultural Wages Act, in accordance with the recommendations of the Holidays with Pay Committee; and, if so, when this legislation may be expected?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As stated by my right hon. Friend on 28th April, the report of the Committee on Holidays with Pay is being studied sympathetically. He is not yet able to make a further statement on the subject.

Mr. Smith

The committee definitely recommended that this legislation should be brought into being, and I am asking the Minister whether he contemplates accepting that recommendation?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As I have said, sympathetic consideration will be given to all recommendations of the committee.

Mr. Kirkwood

We know what is paved with good intentions.
