HC Deb 23 July 1919 vol 118 c1410W
Captain W. BENN

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the men lift attendants at the Air Ministry received full pay for the public holiday on 19th July; and, if not, for what reason?

Sir ALFRED MOND

The men in question are employed through contractors, and, in accordance with the practice adopted by all Government Departments, payment will be made for time not actually worked if it can be established that trade custom warrants such payment.
