HC Deb 04 May 1965 vol 711 c133W
36. Mr. Marten

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether computers in Government establishments are allowed to be worked for three eight-hour shifts a day if necessary.

Mr. MacDermot

The hours are regulated by an agreement with the National Staff Side which allows 24-hour working in order to provide a fully operational service or in cases of emergency, as after a breakdown.
