HC Deb 26 July 1949 vol 467 c123W
Sir W. Darling

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the public offices of his Department in Edinburgh were closed on Whit Monday; and whether he will reconsider this practice, in view of the inconvenience caused by the adoption of English holidays in Scotland.

Mr. Barnes

It has been the custom for some years for the offices of my Department in Edinburgh to close on Whit Monady. I have no record of any complaints and in the circumstances do not think a change is necessary.
