HC Deb 05 July 1926 vol 197 cc1625-6W
Mr. AMMON

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to a resolution passed by the education committee of the London County Council on 14th May last respecting the employment of young persons, and whether provision will be made in the Government Factory Bill to embody the points mentioned?

Captain HACKING

I understand a resolution in general terms was adopted by the committee at their meeting on the 12th May in favour of the Education (Employment of Young Persons) Bill. As regards the last part of the question, I must ask the hon. Member to await the introduction of the Bill.

Mr. AMMON

asked the Home Secretary whether he has any further information to add as to the amendment of the 1921 Education Act respecting legislation restricting the hours of employment of young persons?

Captain HACKING

I am afraid I cannot add anything at present to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member in March last on this. subject.
