§ 18. Mr. KELLYasked the Home Secretary whether there has been any increase in the number of factory inspectors during the last six months; and is there to be a further addition during this financial year?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe number of factory inspectors actually employed is slightly larger now than six months ago owing to vacancies having been filled. I would remind the hon. Member that the question of increasing the factory inspectorate is now being considered by a Departmental Committee under the chairmanship of my hon. Friend the Member for Bootle (Sir V. Henderson).
§ Mr. KELLYAre we to have a report from the Committee or a statement from the right hon. Gentleman?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSYes.
