§ MR. CLANCYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Factory and Workshop Acts Amendment and Consolidation Bill, as finally amended, will be reprinted; and, if not, whether he will cause a sufficient number of copies of the Bill as so amended to be printed for the use of working men's institutes and clubs in the United Kingdom.
§ *THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. RITCHIE, Croydon)Certainly, Sir, the Act will be reprinted. As to the distribution, 1299 each Member has, I understand, a right to a considerable number of copies, which, I take it, will be sufficient for hon. Gentlemen to supply to institutions in their constituencies.
§ MR. CLANCYIt has been amended since it was introduced. Will it be reprinted in its final form; and, if so, are hon. Members entitled to the full number of copies of reprints?
§ *MR. RITCHIECertainly; it was amended in the Lords, and it must, therefore, be reprinted now it has become an Act. I will inquire as to the number of copies available for each Member.
§ *SIR CHARLES DILKEWill the right hon. Gentleman expedite the printing of the Act?
§ *MR. RITCHIEI will see what I can do.
