HC Deb 11 August 1919 vol 119 c912W
Mr. ANEURIN WILLIAMS

asked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry whether girl clerks in his Department receive twelve days' holidays and men clerks twenty-eight days; and, if so, what is the reason for the difference?

Major-General SEELY

The leave of temporary clerks, to whom I assume that my hon. Friend is referring, is governed by the rules made by the Treasury, and is the same for both males and females, the minimum being twelve working days, or one day for each month's service. The leave of permanent Civil servants is governed by a different set of rules, also made by the Treasury. If my hon. Friend wishes for further information, perhaps he would be good enough to put a question to my hon. Friend the Secretary to the Treasury.
