HC Deb 07 June 1951 vol 488 c146W
88. Dr. Broughton

asked the Minister of Health what arrangements have been made for members of the National Hospital Service Reserve to be given special leave by their employers, without loss of pay, to enable them to train at times convenient for the hospitals.

Mr. Blenkinsop

All Government Departments are authorised to grant special leave, with pay, for this purpose, to officers having a low annual leave entitlement. I hope that employers generally will be prepared to grant similar facilities to their employees.
