To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if juvenile employees working part-time on paper rounds are subject to the holiday pay provisions of the working time regulations. [72024]

Mr. Ian McCartney

[holding answer 22 February 1999] Newspaper delivery boys and girls are not entitled to paid annual leave under the regulations if they are below minimum school leaving age; anyone aged 16 or over who delivers newspapers is, like any other part time worker, entitled to paid annual leave but only pro rata according to the hours they normally work.
