HC Deb 03 November 1920 vol 134 cc375-6
50. Mr. J. JONES

asked the Lord Privy Seal when it is proposed to proceed with the Factories and Workshops (Bakehouses) Bill?

Mr. HAILWOOD

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is the strongest possible opposition in the House to this Bill proceeding any further?

Mr. BONAR LAW

My answer will answer both questions. I cannot say at present whether it will be possible to find time to proceed with this Bill.

Mr. JONES

Is it not a fact that the Committee were unanimous in their recommendations regarding night baking, and can the right hon. Gentleman not say anything more definite?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I cannot say anything more definite. The time is limited, and the fact that there is opposition will make it more difficult.

Mr. JONES

The opposition was not in Committee.
