§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he can give an estimate of when the hours, wages and working conditions, including public holidays, for workers in Great Britain will be raised to the level of the other countries of the EEC.
§ Mr. John GrantI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on 5th December.—[Vol. 940, c. 588.] As with terms and conditions of employment in general, it is not part of EEC policy to harmonise public holidays.
