§ MR. BAUMANNI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords on the Sweating System makes sundry recommendations for the alteration of the Law, which are contained in the Factory and Workshop Act Amendment Bill, now before the House, he will give facilities for the Second Reading of that Bill?
§ * MR. W. H. SMITHThe Bill of the hon. Member contains clauses to which the Government could not assent, and which are not covered by the recommendations of the Sweating Committee, and I am not prepared, therefore, to promise facilities for the Bill. The question is one that the Government are quite prepared to deal with, and they hope that time may be found for the consideration of a measure during the present Session.
