§ Sir HERBERT NIELDasked the Lord Privy Seal whether, seeing that banking staffs are now practically the only class of clerical empoyés who are required to work on the Saturday intervening between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, he will consider the advisability of extending the Public Holidays Act or other legislation so as to authorise the closing of banks on that day, at any rate this year, having regard to the heavy and continuous strain of the work during the period of war?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI would refer any hon. and learned Friend to the reply which I gave to a similar question to-day.
