HC Deb 24 July 2000 vol 354 c417W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many workers in Shrewsbury and Atcham received the right to four weeks paid holiday under the Working Time Directive; and if he will make a statement. [131145]

Mr. Alan Johnson

It is estimated that 3.1 million people have gained additional paid leave as a result of the entitlement to four weeks paid leave introduced by the Working Time Regulations. It is not possible to estimate numbers of beneficiaries by parliamentary constituency.
