§ Mr. DAYasked the First Commissioner of Works the number of persons permanently employed by his Department on the industrial staff who do not receive an annual holiday with pay each year; and whether any special consideration will be given to these workers with the forthcoming holiday season?
§ Mr. LANSBURYThe answer to the first part of the question is that all directly employed industrial staff who have completed twelve months full time continuous employment under my Department will be eligible for annual leave with pay at the rate of six days per year, together with leave with pay on six public holidays annually. The second part of the question does not therefore arise.
