HC Deb 06 August 1919 vol 119 c374W
Mr. A. SHORT

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that Customs and Excise temporary men at the Custom House have not been paid for the Peace holiday on 19th July; and whether he will have inquiry made into the matter with a view to these men being treated similarly to all other Government employeé?

Mr. BALDWIN

I find on inquiry that Customs extra-men who would have been employed on 19th July but for the holiday have already been paid for that day. These, no doubt, are the men to whom the hon. Member's question refers.
