HC Deb 27 April 1876 vol 228 cc1761-2
MR. SERJEANT SIMON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Depart- ment, Whether it is his intention to introduce during the present Session a Bill to amend the Factory and Workshop Acts in accordance with the recommendations of the Commissioners?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS,

in reply, said, it was not the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill on the subject during the present Session. A very large amount of evidence had been taken in reference to the question, and he thought it right that the country should have an opportunity of considering it before any measure was brought in to amend the Acts.
