§ MR. MUNDELLAasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, having regard to the importance of the measure for the consolidation of the Factory and Workshops Acts, he will introduce it before Easter, in order that due time may be given for its consideration?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, that it would depend on the course of Public Business and the progress made by the Prisons Bill whether he should be able to introduce before Easter the Bill alluded to by the hon. Member. He should not think it right to lay the Bill upon the Table without making a statement respecting its provisions.
