HC Deb 11 May 1939 vol 347 cc680-1
58. Mr. Ridley

asked the Home Secretary at what date it is intended to publish the report of the Chief Inspector of Factories?

Sir S. Hoare

I am anxious that there shall be no avoidable delay in the publication of this report, but the pressure on the Department of work of great urgency is such that I am not in a position at present to give an undertaking as to the date.

Mr. Ridley

Will every effort be made to publish the report before the Debate upon the Home Office Vote?

Sir S. Hoare

Yes, Sir, certainly. We will make every effort, but I cannot give a definite date.
