HC Deb 22 December 1932 vol 273 c1222
7. Mr. JANNER

asked the Home Secretary whether he intends to introduce legislation to give effect to the unanimous recommendations of the Select Committee on Shop Assistants to limit the hours during which young persons shall be engaged in and about shops to 48 per week?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I am afraid I can add nothing at present to the reply I gave to the Noble Lady the Member for the Sutton Division of Plymouth (Viscountess Astor) on the 24th October on this subject.

Mr. JANNER

Can the right hon. Gentleman say that this matter will be dealt with shortly?

Sir J. GILMOUR

All I can say is that the matter is being considered; I cannot say how soon it will be dealt with.
