HC Deb 07 December 1925 vol 189 c66W
Mr. HAYES

asked the Home Secretary the number of hours that the staff of the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum spend each week within the institution; and whether the 48-hour working week can be applied to the staff?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Subject to certain occasional hours off, the ordinary attendants spend 13 hours each working day within the institution. They, however, have two whole rest days after every four working days, besides annual leave. If annual leave and time allowed for meals are taken into consideration, they actually work on an average about 48 hours a week.
