§ SIR JOHN GORSTI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether any steps are being taken by Her Majesty's Government to extend to British India the principles of the Berlin Conference in reference to the employment of women and children in factories?
MR. G. RUSSELLThe new Factory Law in India which was presented to Parliament on 21st April, 1891, by the right hon. Member, extends the principles of the Berlin Conference to the employment of women and children in factories. That law is being enforced throughout British India. Revised Regulations under that law have been published in every Province in India except one.
