ANNUAL HOLIDAY
EIGHT DAYS WITH PAY
PEIVATE LABOUR MEASURE . &— ■ British Official Wireless. BUGBY, 15th November. ' The House of Commons to-day discussed a Bill introduced' by Mr. Winterton, a private Labour member, making it compulsory for employers to give employees eight days' consecutive holiday, with pay, annually.' The Bill was opposed by the Conservatives on the ground that it interfered with the long-established custom, of employers and employees to settle conditions in their own industries.
Mr. J. Lawson, Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Labour, said the Government accepted the principle o± the BUI, but was conscious that this matter could not be dealt with in such simple terms as the Bill used. In view of the heavy programme of the Government there could bo no guarantee of time being given for further stages of the measure if it were passed by the House.
