§ MR. J. TALBOTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he can hold out hopes that a measure dealing with the fruit preserving industry, On which he has declared legislation to be necessary, will be introduced during the present session.
§ * SIR M. WHITE RIDLEYI am afraid that I can only say that a measure has been prepared which embraces amendments of the Factory Law relating to the fruit preserving industry; but in the present state of public business I c]fan make no definite statement with regard to it.
