HC Deb 23 October 1952 vol 505 cc149-50W
Mr. J. Taylor

asked the Minister of Labour what arrangements he will make to ensure that men and women called up for National Service receive the holiday pay which they would normally have received had they not been called up.

Sir W. Monckton

The arrangements for holiday payments are normally regulated by agreements between employers and employees or their organisations. Any question of payment in respect of accrued holidays to workers called up for National Service is a matter for settlement between the parties concerned. I understand that such payments are made under the arrangements in force in a number of industries.

showing, in recent months, what has been the percentage of unemployment among dock workers in each of the principal British ports; and how this compares with 12 months ago.

Sir W. Monckton

I am sending the hon. Member the particulars for which he asks.
