§ Sir T. BRAMSDONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what employés in naval establishments are at present entitled to sick leave with part payment; and will he consider the extension of this privilege to all employés in naval establishments, including dockyards?
§ Mr. HODGESThe civilian employés in naval establishments who are allowed a period of sick leave with pay less deductions on account of benefits receivable under the National Health Insurance Acts are mainly whole-time temporary or un-established classes of employés, occupied otherwise than by way of manual work, whose remuneration does not exceed £250 per annum. It is not the intention to extend the privilege to all employés in the establishments.
