§ 69. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Home Secretary whether the Factory Inspector's Report will be presented and circulated before the Home Office Vote is taken?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThis Report, which is now being printed, will be expedited as much as practicable, but I regret it is not possible to issue it before Thursday next, when the Home Office Vote is to be taken.
§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKIs it not highly unusual to take the Home Office Vote before printing and circulating the Factory Inspectors' Report?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI think it has been done before. I do not mind the Home Office Vote being postponed.
§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKHas it not been the case for the last few years that the Report has been printed before the Home Office Vote has been taken? Surely hon. Members should have this Report in their hands before discussing the Vote?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANIt is not the Home Office Office but the Factory Inspector's report about which my noble Friend is asking.
§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKI wish to know about the relation between the two.
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThat is not what was put in the Noble Lord's question.
