§ 65. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will now reconsider the application of industrial civil servants for 12 days annual leave.
§ Sir S. CrippsThis application has been tabled as an item of new business for discussion at the next meeting of the Joint Co-ordinating Committee for Government Industrial Establishments on 27th July. I shall, of course, consider it in the light of the arguments then advanced.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonDoes that reply mean that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has not made up his mind at this moment to reject the application?
§ Sir S. CrippsIt means that I shall deal with this in the proper way and not by question and answer in the House.
