HC Deb 15 June 1939 vol 348 c1539W
Mr. Gallacher

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware that men employed for periods from 6 to 11 months during the past year at the Royal Naval Armaments Depot, Crombie, have been informed that they will not be given holidays with pay owing to the fact that they have not been a full year employed; and will he arrange for holiday pay for these men in proportion to the period they have been employed?

Mr. Shakespeare

Instructions are about to be issued that workpeople in His Majesty's dockyards and other Admiralty establishments at Home, and workpeople appointed from Home establishments under agreement for service at His Majesty's naval yards, etc., abroad, are to be allowed annual leave with pay at the rate of one half-day for each completed calendar month of service within the leave year.
