HC Deb 01 December 1911 vol 32 cc982-3W
Mr. DEVLIN

asked the Home Secretary whether he has any information as to the progress of the inquiry as to the existence of sweating amongst the outworkers in the linen and cognate trades in Belfast, and as to when the inquiry will be completed?

Mr. McKENNA

I am informed by the Committee that they have already heard a number of witnesses in London and will proceed to Ireland to continue the inquiry as soon as the employers are ready to submit their evidence. The Committee cannot say at present when the inquiry will be completed.
