§ MR. E. A. GOULDING (Wilts, Devizes)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the growing importance and development of the typewriting industry, whether that industry comes under the operation of the Factory and Workshops Act; and, if not, whether he will consider the propriety of altering the rules of his Department so as to bring it within these Acts?
§ Mr. JESSE COLLINGSThe typewriting industry does not come within the operation of the Factory and Workshops Acts, and the Secretary of State has no power by any Departmental rules to bring it under the Acts, That could only be done by legislation.
