HC Deb 01 February 1938 vol 331 c19
44. Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he proposes to introduce a Bill to limit the hours of young persons in unregulated trades?

The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Sir Samuel Hoare)

I presume that the hon. Member is referring to the projected Bill to give effect to certain recommendations of the Departmental Committee on the Hours of Employment of Young Persons in Certain Unregulated Occupations. As I have stated in reply to previous questions, I am anxious 10 see this legislation passed, and hope that there may be time for the Bill during the present Session. I am afraid that I am not in a position to make any further statement at the moment.
