HC Deb 16 June 1938 vol 337 cc384-5
38. Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Home Secretary when the annual report of the Factory Department is to be published?

Sir Samuel Hoare

I regret that the extreme pressure of work involved in connection with the new Act is delaying the issue of this report. It will be expedited as far as practicable, but I am afraid that I cannot at present fix a date.

Mr. Mander

Will the report be presented before the Debate takes place upon the Home Office Vote? It is very important to have it before that Debate.

Sir S. Hoare

I quite agree that it is important to have it, and we will expedite it as far as we can.
