To ask the Minister of Labour whether, in the interest of continued productive efficiency of all classes of workers, he will take the necessary steps to ensure that all Government Departments concerned will co-operate with manufacturing, trading and commercial undertakings to enable at least one week's holiday to be taken; and whether he will request the Minister of War Transport to make the necessary arrangements with the railway companies and the road transport companies so that the necessary transport facilities shall be available?
§ Sir H. WilliamsThis Question, which affects about 10 Departments of State and was addressed to the Prime Minister, has been transferred to the Ministry of Labour.
