HC Deb 09 August 1905 vol 151 cc806-7
MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it is the intention of the Government to bring in legislation to deal with the compulsory inspection of laundries carried on in conventual institutions in the United Kingdom.

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

Yes, Sir. It is my intention to introduce a Bill dealing with laundries, which will, among other things, provide for the inspection of those laundries which are carried on in conventual institutions by way of trade and for purposes of gain.
