§ Mr. DICKINSONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when a decision may be expected as to the provision of a regular Saturday half-holiday for Civil servants; what representations, if any, have been received from associations of Civil servants on this matter; and whether he proposes to receive a deputation representative of any or all of these associations before arriving at a final decision?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI hope to be able to announce a decision upon the matter before the close of the Session. Representations have been received upon it from the association of second division clerks, and will be considered. I am not disposed to think that any further oral representations are likely to prove necessary.
