§ MR. HANBURY (Preston)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whose duty it is to find out whether the Factory Clause, introduced into War Office contracts as a security against sweating, is being properly carried out in each case?
§ * THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE, Lincolnshire, Horncastle)The Director of Contracts will make every effort in his power to secure the enforcement of the Factory 1131 Clause in the "War Office contracts as a security against sweating; but it is exceedingly difficult for the Department to make sure of doing so without a very extensive inspection, and the real security for enforcing it must rest with the workmen themselves.
