§ 56. Mr. Culverwellasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the extra strain and the arduous and dangerous duties such as fire-watching, to which civil servants are subjected in dangerous areas, he will consider giving them a longer holiday than the standard seven days?
§ Captain CrookshankThe decision of His Majesty's Government with regard to the leave of civil servants provides that a second week's leave may be granted where it is necessary in the interests of health and efficiency. The case of officers who are suffering from strain as a result of their fire-fighting services in dangerous areas will be sympathetically considered.
