Mr. Ernest Thornton (Farnworth): To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many male textile workers in Hong Kong work seven days per week continuously throughout the year.
25th July, 1969.
No. 165
MR. WILLIAM WHITLOCK
None. A large proportion of the 59,374 males employed in the textile industry work a twenty-eight day month, although some work on thirty days and others on twenty-six days. But under the Industrial Employment (Holidays with Pay and Sickness Allowance) Ordinance all are entitled to six days paid holiday a year; and for young male persons one rest day a week is also prescribed by law.
