§ Mr. Grocottasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many full-time employees in the Civil Service have terms of employment that allow them to work a four-day week.
§ Mr. BrookeThe terms of employment for full-time civil servants are such that, wherever practicable, it is standard practice for the conditioned hours to be worked over a live-day week. However, it is possible for352W departmental managements to agree to the conditioned hours being worked over a different period. There is no central record of the number of civil servants who may be covered by agreements which allow them to work a four-day week.
