HC Deb 06 December 1933 vol 283 c1488
56. Viscountess ASTOR

asked the Home Secretary whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation to amend the Factory Acts?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I regret that there is no prospect of any general amendment of the Factory Acts being undertaken this Session.

Viscountess ASTOR

Does not the right hon. Gentleman think, considering that every Government in the last 10 years has been pledged to amend the Factory Acts, that this would be a very good work for the National Government?
