HC Deb 28 October 1918 vol 110 c1136W
Mr. ROWNTREE

asked the Home Secretary whether, in preparation for the task of demobilisation, any careful inquiry has yet been made into the effect of different occupations on the health and physique of women; and, if so, can the result of such inquiry be made public?

Sir G. CAVE

The Factory Department of the Home Office has been making careful inquiry into the effects of the employment of women in new processes during the War, particularly with regard to the suitability of the work for women from the point of view of health. A report on this subject is nearly ready, and will in due course be published.
