HC Deb 18 June 1901 vol 95 c720
MR. LOUGH

On behalf of the hon. Member for East Northamptonshire, I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he will state what is the present position of the inter-departmental inquiry into the labour of children of school age out of school hours, and when the inquiry is expected to be completed and the Report presented.

SIR J. GORST

This is a Home Office question, and should be addressed to the right hon. the Home Secretary.

MR. LOUGH

Then perhaps the Home Secretary can give me the information?

*MR. RITCHIE

I know the Committee is pursuing its inquiry, but I am unable to say when it will report. If the hon. Member will put down the question, I shall be glad to inquire.
