HC Deb 09 July 1909 vol 7 c1622W
Mr. SUMMERBELL

asked the First Commissioner of Works, in view of the late sittings of the House, if he can state whether any extra allowance is made to the employés in his Department for service after 12 midnight, and, if so, the amount per hour of such extra allowance?

Mr. HARCOURT

Arrangements for the staff of my Department at the House are made with special reference to the liability to occasional extra duty. There are relief shifts to avoid continuous duty, and special privileges as to extra leave as compensation for unavoidable overtime.
