§ 8. Mr. FORRESTasked the Home Secretary whether any legislation is contemplated in connection with the spread of dermatitis among bakers, in view of the fact that operatives suffering from 548 this disease are at present permitted to go on working, with consequent risk to the consuming public?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSNo legislation is contemplated, but the question of issuing an Order requiring the occupiers to adopt special precautionary measures is now under consideraton.
§ Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLEIs it not a very conspicuous example of the disadvantage of not bringing the administration of the Home Office in touch with the administration of the Ministry of Health?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI do not quite see how my hon. and gallant Friend's supplementary question arises. I was asked whether any legislation was contemplated in connection with the spread of dermatitis among bakers, and I said no, but that the Home Office was considering issuing an Order on the matter.
