HC Deb 19 May 1899 vol 71 cc1025-6
MR. DOUGHTY (Great Grimsby)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, early after the Whitsuntide holidays, he will introduce the Factories Amendment Bill he was obliged to withdraw last Session, with a view of passing it into law before the end of the Session.

* THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. JESSE COLLINGS,) Birmingham, Bordesley

The Bill to which I presume my honourable friend refers, dealt with Emergency Processes. As to the prospects of legislation on this subject there is nothing to add to the answer which the Secretary of State gave to the right honourable Member for the University of Oxford yesterday with regard to the fruit-preserving trade—one of the emergency processes.
