HC Deb 07 November 1940 vol 365 cc1437-8
15. Mr. David Adams

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of changes in management, changes in personnel, construction and adaptation of factories, relaxation of regulations, and so forth, all making the work of factory inspection more difficult, he is to appoint additional factory inspectors, and to take special measures to train them in their duties?

Mr. Bevin

The number of inspectors has been increased since the commencement of the war, and some more additional appointments are about to be made. Special attention to the training of new entrants is given by the chief inspector and his staff.
