HC Deb 18 July 1890 vol 347 cc221-2
MR. T. HARROP SIDEBOTTOM (Stalybridge)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether, in view of the stringent manner in which it is thought necessary to administer the Factories and Workshops Acts in this country, he can state when our Indian fellow-subjects are likely to receive some share of the benefits of similar legislation, however slight?

* SIR J. GORST

Yes, Sir; the Secretary of State hopes that our Indian fellow-subjects will receive some share in the benefits of the factory legislation which has been so beneficial in this country.
