HC Deb 18 March 1929 vol 226 cc1568-9

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

Mr. KELLY

I want to ask whether or not these Orders are to affect the weaving sheds only, or whether they are to cover the whole of the factories, and whether the Report which was presented by the committee of the Home Office is the one upon which they are going to act.

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Lieut.-Colonel Sir Vivian Henderson)

I did not understand the last observation of the hon. Member.

Mr. KELLY

I was endeavouring to be brief, but I wanted to know whether an Order issued would cover the weaving sheds or the whole of the factories, so far as ventilation is concerned.

Sir V. HENDERSON

What I did not catch was something that the hon. Member said about the Report. That Report is available in the Vote Office. Perhaps I ought to explain that this Bill is entirely founded on the recommendation of a Departmental Committee, and the hon. Member will find the recommendations on pages 37 to 49 of its Report. They are extremely detailed and complicated. So far as I am aware, they apply to the weaving sheds, and all questions of ventilation are covered in the Report.

Question put, and agreed to.
