Debate on Saturday half holiday and government example
A deputation urged the government to set a two o clock Saturday half holiday as a model for dockyards arsenals and offices asserting it would boost efficiency. Sir George Grey opposed in state establishments arguing offices would not close and workers needed parity with Parliament. The meeting ended with the deputation withdrawing and plans for further action.
