HC Deb 11 February 1971 vol 811 c229W
52. Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the estimated percentage of workers in the United Kingdom who work less than a six-day week; and what are the equivalent figures for the countries of the Common Market.

Mr. Dudley Smith

I have no statistical information on the percentage of workers who work a six-day week in the countries of the Common Market or in the United Kingdom, but the figures for Great Britain for September, 1968, show that about 84 per cent. of all day workers worked a 5-day week or less.
