HC Deb 13 November 1945 vol 415 c1907
35. Wing-Commander Roland Robinson

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has considered the Report of the Catering Wages Commission urging a spread-over of holidays from June to September; and what steps he proposes to take to implement its Recommendations.

Mr. Isaacs

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given to his previous Question on this subject on 8th November.

Wing-Commander Robinson

In view of the urgency of the situation, as shown in this Report, will not the Minister expedite consideration of this matter so that holiday resorts may prepare to meet the needs of the people during the coming season?

Mr. Isaacs

It is not the Minister's consideration that needs to be expedited. We have referred the matter to the industry for their consideration, and we are waiting for their observations.

Sir Frank Sanderson

Is it not diametrically opposed to Conservative principles to ask for further controls?
