HC Deb 30 August 1895 vol 36 c1242
MR. DRAGE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his attention has been called to the Report of the Chief Inspector of Factories for the year 1894, and the précis drawn up by one of Her Majesty's Inspectors (Miss Anderson) of the regulations under the Factory laws in France, as well as the general regulations with respect to sanitation, ventilation, and the restrictions placed on the employment of women and children in French industrial establishments; and whether, in view of the value attached by the Chief Inspector to that précis, he will consider the desirability of causing similar prÉcis to be drawn up with regard to the legislation and administration of Factory Laws in Germany and Austria during the ensuing year?

SIR MATTHEW RIDLEY

I have seen Miss Anderson's précis and translations, and have communicated with the Chief Inspector of Factories, who tells me that he hopes to include in the next Annual Report a précis of the Austrian and German Law on the same subjects.
