HC Deb 17 July 1969 vol 787 cc176-7W
Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the dates of Easter, Whitsun, and Spring Bank Holidays and Autumn Bank Holiday in 1970, and the following five years.

Mr. William Rodgers

With permission, I will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a table showing the dates on which the next six Easter bank holidays will fall unless the date of Easter should come to be changed in the meantime. The table also gives the dates that have already been announced for the Spring and August bank holidays for the next two years. We hope to announce very shortly the dates for these holidays in 1972:

Following is the information:

(2) in the British Overseas Airways Corporation at the most recent convenient date in 1969, what were the total numbers of employees of all grades, the aggregate value of capital assets including land and buildings, the annual income and expenditure, and the commercial or industrial activities other than the carriage of passengers and freight by air, giving for each separate activity the value of assets employed and the number of employees.

Mr. William Rodgers

The latest available information will be set out in the Air Corporations' Annual Reports and Accounts for 1968–69, which are due to be published next month, and for which I would ask my hon. Friend to wait. If any further information is required after publication, I suggest that he writes to the chairmen of the Corporations direct.
