HC Deb 30 June 1913 vol 54 c1510W
Mr. CAWLEY

asked the President of the Board of Trade why hand laundries, employing many assistants, cannot be brought under the Trade Boards Act on the same terms as steam laundries?

Mr. BUXTON

The laundry processes proposed to be brought under the Trade Boards Act are those of calendering and machine ironing. These processes, I understand, are practically only carried on in power laundries.
