HC Deb 09 December 1902 vol 116 cc451-2
SIR CHARLES DILKE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any representations have been received to the effect that the Particulars section ought to be extended to outworkers in the tailoring trade; and if any, and what, steps are to be taken in the matter.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. AKERS DOUGLAS,) Kent, St. Augustine's

Yes, Sir. I have received such representations on behalf of outworkers in the wholesale tailoring trade, and after inquiry I have decided that the section ought to be extended to them. The draft order making the extension was published on the 18th of November.
