§ MR. SHACKLETON (Lancashire, Clitheroe)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in the sixty-three cases reported by the inspector under the Cotton Cloths Factories Act as having exceeded the nine volumes of carbon dioxide in every 10,000 volumes, a previous notice had at any time been issued for defective ventilation; and, if so, will he say in how many cases.
(Answered, by Mr. Secretary Akers Douglas.) Previous notices had been sent within twelve months to the same occupiers in sixteen of the cases referred to, and at longer intervals to thirty-five such occupiers.
