HC Deb 05 February 1891 vol 350 c9
MR. RANDELL (Glamorgan, Gower)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider the advisability of issuing an abridged version of the present lengthy and complicated Abstract of "The Factory and Workshop Act, 1878;" and of furnishing to occupiers of factories and workshops in the Principality a Welsh translation of the same?

MR. MATTHEWS

I am disposed to concur with the suggestion of the hon. Member that a shorter abstract of the Acts, and possibly a Welsh translation, may be advisable. The present moment would not, however, be opportune, as a Bill for amending the existing Acts will shortly be presented to the House. I will not lose sight of the matter.
