Holidays with Pay Act 1938
The Holidays with Pay Act 1938 was legislation of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which provided for paid holidays for working class employees,[1] and was the result of a twenty-year campaign.[2] The Act was repealed by the Statute Laws Repeals Act 2004.[a][3]
It led to the popularity of holiday camps such as those run by Butlins[4]
The provisions of the Act have largely been replaced by the European Working Time Directive enacted by statutory instrument 1998/1833 - Working Time Regulations 1998
