HC Deb 19 July 1938 vol 338 cc2008-9W
Mr. Watson

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the general adoption of the principle of holidays with pay, consideration will now be given to that section of hired Admiralty employés who fail to get a full year's work in the dockyards; and will every effort be made to give casual workers the benefits enjoyed by others?

Mr. Cooper

The question of the modification of the existing arrangements for the holidays of temporary or hired Admiralty workpeople with less than 12 months' service is already receiving consideration, and a decision may be expected in the near future.
