HC Deb 16 May 1927 vol 206 cc909-10
61. Mr. SAKLATVALA

asked the Home Secretary if he is aware, in the case of the girl workers' premises of the London Nut Food Company's works at Battersea, that insufficient lavatory accommodation is provided; the cloakroom is kept in an insanitary condition and numerous leaks in the roof are left unrepaired; and will he state whether these premises have lately been inspected by one of His Majesty's factory inspectors?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The report I have received shows that the sanitary accommodation is up to the general standard and that the roof over the cloakroom which has been leaking has been under repair for the last four or five weeks. The premises, which were visited this morning by the factory inspector, had been visited twice in the early part of this year and also in October last. The inspector will keep the factory under observation.
