HC Deb 05 March 1891 vol 351 cc243-4
MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he proposes to proceed with his Factory and Workshops Bill in Standing Committee before the House is in possession of, or has read a second time, the Public Health (London) Law Amendment Bill and the Public Health (London) Law Consolidation Bill, to be introduced by the President of the Local Government Board; and whether he proposes to proceed with the Factory Bill before the Easter Recess?

MR. MATTHEWS

I hope to proceed with the Factory Bill before the Easter Recess, and I have every reason to expect that the Public Health (London) Law Amendment Bill will be in the possession of the House before much progress can be made with the Factory Bill.
