HC Deb 13 October 1975 vol 897 c605W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied that student nurses, who have to work at Christmas, New Year, and other Feast days do in fact receive their statutory days off.

Mr. William Ross

Yes. A student nurse who works on a public holiday is entitled to another day off in lieu. There is no objection to days off in lieu being accumulated and taken later instead of being taken as single days off.
