HC Deb 23 May 1940 vol 361 c286
16. Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Home Secretary whether he has any information to show if the legal provisions regarding the hours of labour of young persons in shops are being enforced by local authorities?

Sir J. Anderson

Yes, Sir. The information before me indicates that the provisions referred to are being generally observed. Only a few complaints have reached me and where necessary local authorities have taken proceedings to enforce the law.
