HC Deb 16 April 1951 vol 486 c127W
83. Mr. J. Rodgers

asked the Minister of Supply if he will make a statement on the ban on overtime work at the Royal Ordnance factory at Fort Halstead.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

I assume the hon. Member is referring to the Ministry of Supply Research Establishments at Fort Halstead, where a group of workpeople recently decided to ban overtime work until all Government industrial employees are granted two weeks' annual leave. I hope that the ban, which is unofficial, will shortly be lifted.
