§ MR. VESEY KNOX (Londonderry)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that there is a strong feeling in. Londonderry and the surrounding district against the enforcement of Section 16 of the Factories Act, 1895, in connection with the shirt industry; and whether he will receive representations on the matter from the representatives of employers and employed?
§ SIR M. W. RIDLEYMy attention has been already called to this matter, and I have directed the Chief Inspector of Factories to make special inquiries; any representations from the representatives of employers and employed will be carefully considered.
