§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has of the length of the weekly working week of a shop assistant and the number of hours of overtime worked.
§ Mr. CarlisleIn October, 1968, the average weekly hours worked by full-time assistants were: men, 41.4; women, 39.3; youths and boys, 41.2; girls, 39.9. No precise figures for overtime are available, but it seems that in each category the average amount was small.
