HC Deb 31 January 1966 vol 723 c176W
Mr. Heffer

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will seek to introduce new methods of statutory holiday arrangements on an area basis and covering all workers in agreed areas; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gunter

Holiday arrangements are a matter for discussion between employers and workers and statutory provision would, therefore, not be appropriate. My National Joint Advisory Council and my Local Employment Committees have been left in no doubt as to the importance which the Government attaches to spreading the peak holiday season.
