HC Deb 30 January 1930 vol 234 c1148
2. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Minister of Labour the number of married women with children working in factories at the present time?

Miss BONDFIELD

I regret that statistics giving the information desired are not available.

Mr. FREEMAN

May I ask whether it is possible for these statistics to be collected with a view to considering whether married women with children cannot be relieved of the double responsibility of earning wages and looking after their families?

Miss BONDFIELD

I will see whether they can be obtained.

Mr. HANNON

May I ask the right hon. Lady to take care that she does not impose any further burden on the country by the collection of these statistics?
