HC Deb 02 May 1935 vol 301 c528
14. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Home Secretary whether he has considered the question of bringing lifts at residential and office premises under the Factory Acts?

Captain CROOKSHANK

This suggestion has not been overlooked, but my right hon. Friend is not in a position at present to come to any conclusion.

Mr. DAVIES

As the number of such lifts is increasing, will the Home Office bear that fact in mind?

Viscountess ASTOR

Will the Home Office also bring in some regulation in respect of the 300,000 juveniles who are working all sorts of hours and whom the Government have promised some day to protect?
