§ Mr. CHIOZZA MONEYasked the Home Secretary, with reference to his Draft Order altering the legal working hours of wearing apparel workers for two months prior to the Coronation, if he has considered the case of a girl coming to London to work by a workmen's train, compelled to wait about the streets until 9 a.m., the proposed hour of beginning work, remaining at work until 9 p.m., and then returning to her home at say 10 p.m., thus occupying from about 7 a.m. until about 10 p.m., or fifteen hours per day or more; and if he is aware that a considerable number of workers will be thus affected by the proposed alterations?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe Order is intended to meet the case of those dressmakers who now come to work at 9 a.m., and leave at 8 p.m., but who during the two busy months will have to work the additional hour which the law now allows. It is believed that it would be inconvenient to many of them to1670W come at 8 a.m.; and so the Order, if made, would permit them, instead of coming at 8 a.m. to stay till 9 in the evening. Either arrangement might be adopted in the workshop as may be most convenient.
