HC Deb 14 November 1912 vol 43 c2086
73. Mr. HINDS

asked the Home Secretary whether he will rearrange the existing districts for the administration of the Factory Acts with a view of constituting Wales and Monmouthshire as a separate district?

Mr. McKENNA

As I informed the hon. Member for the Denbigh District on the 31st of October, for the purpose of administration of the Factory Acts, Wales and Monmouthshire are divided into three districts, with headquarters and a full staff, at Cardiff, Swansea, and Wrexham, respectively. At one time the whole of South Wales and Monmouth were combined in one district, but it was found to be too large for administrative purposes, and it was again divided into two districts.
