HC Deb 01 February 1934 vol 285 c517
13. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked 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. GILMOUR

I regret that I see no prospect of such legislation this Session.

Mr. DAVIES

In 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. GILMOUR

The 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.
