HC Deb 18 July 1950 vol 477 c2041
65. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will now reconsider the application of industrial civil servants for 12 days annual leave.

Sir S. Cripps

This 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 Lipton

Does that reply mean that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has not made up his mind at this moment to reject the application?

Sir S. Cripps

It means that I shall deal with this in the proper way and not by question and answer in the House.
