§ 13. Sir R. Glynasked the Minister of Labour whether Government Departments are exempt from the regulations that govern the working hours of juveniles; and what steps are taken by his Department to ensure that hours up to 60 a week are not worked?
§ Mr. BevinThe provisions in the Factories Act regulating the hours of young persons apply to Crown Establishments. It is primarily the responsibility of the Minister controlling the particular establishment to see that these provisions are observed. I am in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply with regard to certain of his establishments. If my hon. Friend has any particular case in mind, I should be glad to have particulars.
