§ 12. Mr. William Priceasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity whether she will introduce legislation to ensure that employers pay accumulated holiday money to people who leave during the year.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity (Mr. Roy Hattersley)No, Sir; but the Government consider that employers who have not already done so should reach agreements with their workers on all aspects of holidays and holiday pay.
§ Mr. PriceIs it not a fact that while the majority of employers do accept their commitments there are still those who, given an opportunity, fiddle their work-people?
§ Mr. HattersleyThere are certainly some who do not fulfil their commitments. The proper course of redress for individuals in this situation is to join a trade union and to make sure that it comes to a satisfactory agreement with the employers.
