HC Deb 22 December 1971 vol 828 c364W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the categories of workers and professions with annual holiday entitlements of three, four and more weeks.

Mr. Bryan

I refer the hon. Member to Appendix III of the publication "Time Rates of Wages and Hours of Workers 1st April 1971" and also tables 104 and 105 of the report "New Earnings Survey 1970" which analyse holiday entitlements in April, 1970, of employees, analysed by occupation. It is estimated that about two in every three full-time manual workers covered by collective agreements now have basic entitlements of three weeks or more, in addition to public holidays.
