HC Deb 02 August 1897 vol 52 c96
MR. MICHAEL AUSTIN (Limerick, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the Report of the Chief Inspector of Factories will be circulated?

SIE MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY

I have already explained that this Report has been delayed unavoidably, owing to the fact that it now has to include returns collected under the Act of 1895. The Chief Inspector informs me that he will complete the report next week, but I fear it may be some weeks before it can be circulated.
