§ MR. C. E. SCHWANN (Manchester, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many complaints have been made by the factory inspectors in Glasgow to the local sanitary authorities in that city with reference to defects and in sanitary conditions in workshops during the month of April last; and how many of them could have been rectified immediately, and without further loss of time, by the factory inspector, had he the same power to deal with defective sanitation in workshops that he possesses in factories?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. H. H. ASQUITH,) Fife, E.Thirty-two complaints were made to the Sanitary Authority in Glasgow in April—namely, 21 workshops in an uncleanly state, 5 workshops overcrowded, and 6 workshops requiring additional waterclosets, or waterclosets requiring structural 1436 alteration. Of these 26 could have received attention by Her Majesty's inspector of factories, had they the same power in workshops as they had in factories?
