Industrial Workers (Annual Holiday)

4.

Mr. KELLY
asked the Minister of Labour whether Reports have been made to her Department as to industries and trades which have recently decided to give their employés an anual holiday with pay?

Miss BONDFIELD
The only general and district Collective Agreements providing for holidays with pay which have come to the notice of the Department since August, 1929, when a list of such Agreements was published in the Min-  istry of Labour Gazette, have been those applicable to the industrial staffs of Government Departments, boot and shoe repairers employed by Co-operative-Societies in Lancashire and certain areas in Scotland, and mill sawyers at Liverpool. Eight Agreements affecting the employés of individual firms have also been reported.

Mr. KELLY
Has any report been made by the tin-box trade?

Miss BONDFIELD
I have not seen it up to the present.
