§ MR. GEORGE ROBERTS (Norwich)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether Order No. 680, making the employment of young persons under the age of sixteen years and children without a certificate of fitness illegal in certain scheduled industries, which came into force on 1st January, 1907, has yet been acted upon; and whether the forms necessary for putting this order into operation have yet been issued from the Home Office; and, if not, when this will be done.
§ MR. GLADSTONEThe Answer to the hon. Member's Question is in the affirmative. The only form required for the purpose of the Order was a revised 539 form of the workshop edition of the general register; this has been on sale for some time.
