HC Deb 24 May 1965 vol 713 c12W
51. Mr. Freeson

asked the Minister of Labour if he will take steps to introduce legislation to establish three weeks' minimum holiday per year with pay for all workers, apart from existing statutory holidays.

Mr. Thornton

No. Holidays with pay are normally dealt with by collective bargaining and I do not think it would be appropriate to legislate as suggested by my hon. Friend.
