§ 35. Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Home Secretary whether he can arrange for the publication of the annual report of the Factory Department at an earlier date than has been the case hitherto?
§ Sir J. SimonAs the hon. Member is aware, the preparation of this volume involves considerable labour, and I am afraid I can hold out no prospect of any substantial change in the time of publication without drastically shortening the report.
§ Mr. DaviesDoes it not seem strange that nearly every other Government Department is able to issue its report earlier than the Factory Department?
§ Sir J. SimonI have no doubt the hon. Gentleman's recollection will serve him that that was so in his time.
