I once had a case which concerned prisoners nearing release or parole being permitted, as part of their rehabilitation, to work in an establishment other than the prison. It was mooted, either by the said prisoners or on their behalf, that, because of the number of hours worked outside prison, the said rehabilitees might be entitled to "holiday pay", and this they claimed. My understanding is that it took the ruling of a Treasury Solicitor to rebut any and all such claims. NB I am not to be drawn further on this matter.
