HC Deb 27 January 1949 vol 460 c166W
72. Mr. Robinson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether in order to assist in the staggering of holidays, he will consider altering the date of the August Bank Holiday.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

A recommendation of the Standing Committee on the Staggering of Holidays is already under consideration. A proposal to this effect has been referred to the National Joint Advisory Council, but in view of the many interests involved, further discussions and consultation will be necessary before a decision is taken.
