HC Deb 20 February 1930 vol 235 c1568
43. Major NATHAN

asked the Home Secretary when he anticipates introducing the projected Factories Bill?

Mr. CLYNES

I regret that in the present state of public business I am unable to say when this Bill can be introduced.

Major NATHAN

With a view to shortening and facilitating discussion when the Government proposals are ready, will the Home Secretary take into consideration the desirability of introducing a consolidation Measure in the usual way?

Mr. CLYNES

It will be very largely a consolidating Measure.

Mr. BUCHANAN

Is, the right hon. Gentleman aware that consolidation Measures are of no value to the workers at all?

Mr. CLYNES

The Measure will be in the direction of simplifying the law.
