HC Deb 12 December 1966 vol 738 c4W
56. Mr. Allason

asked the Minister of Labour when agreed improvements in holiday entitlements in the private sector of industry may be implemented.

Mr. Gunter

Improvements in holiday entitlements whether in the public or private sectors are subject to the Standstill. Existing commitments resulting from agreements reached before 20th July, 1966, should be deferred for six months, and improvements agreed after the 20th July, 1966, should not be implemented before 1st July, 1967, at the earliest unless they can be justified for earlier implementation in accordance with the White Papers on the Standstill and Period of Severe Restraint.
