HC Deb 14 August 1919 vol 119 cc1645-6W
Sir T. BRAMSDON

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if, in view of the fact that the W.O. 782/19 states that the additional leave with pay is to apply to all grades of employés, including those who are entitled to an annual allowance of ordinary leave with pay, he will state whether the established men in His Majesty's dockyards are to be granted the six days' leave with pay, the same as other recognised Civil servants?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The Weekly Order referred to by my hon. Friend states that the grant of additional leave with pay applies to all grades of employés who are entitled to receive in 1919 an annual allowance of ordinary leave with pay. The grant of the additional leave will, therefore, be confined to such of the employés as are entitled to receive in 1919 an allowance of ordinary leave with pay in addition to the four public holidays. It is not proposed to extend the grant to those employés who are not so entitled.
