HC Deb 05 May 1924 vol 173 c49W
Sir T. BRAMSDON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what employés in naval establishments are at present entitled to sick leave with part payment; and will he consider the extension of this privilege to all employés in naval establishments, including dockyards?

Mr. HODGES

The civilian employés in naval establishments who are allowed a period of sick leave with pay less deductions on account of benefits receivable under the National Health Insurance Acts are mainly whole-time temporary or un-established classes of employés, occupied otherwise than by way of manual work, whose remuneration does not exceed £250 per annum. It is not the intention to extend the privilege to all employés in the establishments.
