HC Deb 19 March 1942 vol 378 cc1634-5
10. Mr. Leach

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that wool-combing and topmaking establishments in the West Riding, and particularly Bradford, possess insufficient warming facilities, and do not comply with the provisions of Section 3 (1) of the Factory Act, 1937; and will he instruct his inspectors to take steps to secure a remedy in view of the fact that production is being hampered by the prevailing conditions?

Mr. Bevin

I am not aware of any general complaint of this kind. If my hon. Friend has evidence that the law is being infringed at any named factory or factories, I would be obliged if he would send me particulars or arrange for them to be sent to the local Factory Inspector.

Mr. Leach

I will do that.
