HC Deb 09 May 1895 vol 33 c791
*SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the statement that laundries are already to some extent under the Factory Acts, how often Section 1, Sub-section 1, of the Factory Act of 1891 has been acted upon as regards laundries; and, when the annual report of the Chief Inspector will be published?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. H. H. ASQUITH,) Fife, E.

No order has been made under Section 1, Subsection 1, of the Factory and Workshops Act, 1891, either with respect to workshops or to laundries. I hope that the Chief Inspector's report will be published next week.
