HC Deb 09 March 1900 vol 80 c488
MR M'KENNA (Monmouthshire, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether in the Factories and Workshops Bill (No. 3), recently circulated, the word "not" has been omitted by inadvertence after the word "which," in page 6, line 3.

*SIR M. WHITE RIDLEY

No, Sir. The Bill is accurately printed. The object of the sub-clause in question is to extend the provisions which now apply only to new factories and workshops in which more than forty persons are employed so as to include factories and workshops in which substantial alterations or additions are made, but not so as to alter the limit of forty persons.
