HC Deb 30 July 1931 vol 255 cc2452-3
45. Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

asked the Prime Minister when it is proposed to introduce legislation to amend the Factory Acts?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

I am not at present in a position to make a statement.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Will the Prime Minister assure the House that such an important social Measure will have preference over, say, the Electoral Reform Bill when we come back?

Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

Will the right hon. Gentleman remember that this was the only social Measure promised in the King's speech when the present Government first took office?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am sorry that I cannot remember what is not a fact.
