HC Deb 08 May 1899 vol 71 c39
MR. W. F. LAWRENCE (Liverpool, Abererombic)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he purposes to bring in a Bill to amend the Factory Acts; and, if so, whether it will deal with laundries, or with what class or classes of labour?

* SIR M. WHITE RIDLEY

I have a Bill to amend certain points in the Factory Acts ready for introduction if opportunity serves, and the law affecting laundries is one of the matters with which I should like to deal. But I am unable, at present, to say how much it may be found desirable to include in the Bill.
