§ 30. Sir WILLIAM BYLESasked, having regard to the prevalence of child labour in the borough of Salford, what action, if any, the Board of Education has taken to cope with the evil?
Mr. PEASEQuestions relating to the employment of school children out of school hours and also those arising under the Employment of Children Act do not belong to the province of the Board of Education, but to the Home Office; and it is for the local authority to introduce by-laws further restricting or abolishing such employment.
