HC Deb 15 August 1940 vol 364 cc998-9W
Mr. C. Brown

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the management of a hosiery factory in Mansfield gave their employés 10 days holiday, as from 2nd August, at the same time posting notices telling the employés not to register at the Employment Exchange; and, as there is no holiday-with-pay scheme at this factory and as the employés had neither holiday pay nor unemployment pay for this period, will he state what official authority there was for posting such notice?

Mr. Bevin

I had not previously heard of this matter, but I am having inquiries made and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend.
