HC Deb 03 August 1939 vol 350 c2605
24. Mr. J. Hall

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the Danish Government has formally ratified the Convention concerning holidays with pay for seamen; and whether he is now prepared to consider the ratification of this convention?

Mr. E. Brown

No, Sir. I understand that the convention referred to has not been ratified by Denmark.

Mr. Hall

Does the right hon. Gentleman remember that he has made many statements in the House concerning his desire to see holidays with pay, and is he not prepared to give effect to that desire by doing something for the sailors?

Mr. Brown

The hon. Member asked about Denmark, and I said that he was misinformed. I understand there was a mistake in the publication.
