EIGHT DAYS’ HOLIDAY
LABOUR MEMBER’S SCHEME FOR WORKERS British Official Wireless RUGBY, Saturday. In the House of Commons yesterday a Bill was introduced by a Labour member (Mr. Winterton )to make it compulsory for employers to give employees eight consecutive clays’ holiday a year with pay. Tile measure was opposed- by Conservative members on the ground that it would interfere with the long-estab-lished custom of employers and employees settling conditions in their .own industries. Mr. J. .1. Lawson, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour, said the Government accepted the principle of the Bill, 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 he no guarantee of time being given for the .further stages of the measure if it were passed by the House. The second reading was carried without division.
