§ 13. Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Home Secretary whether it is proposed to introduce during the present Session a Bill for the consolidation and amendment of the laws relating to factories?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI regret that I see no prospect of such legislation this Session.
§ Mr. DAVIESIn view of the great necessity for consolidating these Acts of Parliament, will not the right hon. Gentleman reconsider his decision, at any rate so far as consolidation is concerned?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe Department's point of view no doubt is that they would be very glad to have such a Bill, but Parliamentary time is fully occupied.
