Tea-Breaks

63.

Mr. Gallacher
asked the Minister of Agriculture what fresh instructions he has issued to county agricultural executive committees on the subject of tea-breaks for their workers following the introduction of the 47-hour week in the agricultural industry; and what were his previous instructions to them on this subject.

Mr. T. Williams
No instructions have been issued to the county agricultural executive committees on the subject of tea-breaks. Committees are expected to follow the prevailing practice of local farmers in such matters.
