HC Deb 28 December 1919 vol 123 c1246
18. Mr. SITCH

asked the Home Secretary whether the volume of work dealt with by his Department in connection with the Factory and Workshop Act has greatly increased; and whether he is considering the formation of a Committee to consider and report on the difficulties thereby occasioned?

Mr. SHORTT

Yes, Sir, the work of the Factory Department has considerably increased in certain directions, and I have appointed a small Departmental Committee, with Sir Malcolm Delevigne as Chairman, to consider and advise as to the organisation of the Inspectorate.
