§ MR. CREMER (Shoreditch, Haggerston)asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether the steps taken to circulate the evidence taken before the Lords' Committee on Sweating would be taken with regard to the Pauper Immigration Committee; and, whether, considering the generally expressed desire for an increased number of Factory and Workshop Inspectors, if the Trades' Unions were willing to pay the expenses of the services of an additional number of Inspectors, the Government would accept the offer, reserving to themselves, of course, the right to accept or reject the candidates proposed by the Trades' Unions?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)in reply, said, he was not in a position to give an answer to such a Question, based on a hypothetical offer of a certain organization to bear the cost of a number of public officers, without notice.
