HC Deb 28 March 1946 vol 421 cc101-2W
110. Major J. Morrison

asked the Minister of Works how many unofficial breaks occur during the course of the day in the work of men engaged in building houses; and how much time these breaks represent.

Mr. Wilson:

The custom of taking round tea to men employed on building sites developed during the war into un official breaks of ro to 15 minutes in the morning and afternoon. Both sides of the industry are alive to this matter and are giving it their attention.
