HC Deb 26 March 1941 vol 370 cc597-8W
Mr. Price

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that there is a compulsory order that women working at a factory of which he has been informed must wear caps and overalls; that some of the women complain of heat; and whether he will investigate the matter to see if some modification of the dress could be allowed which will cause less inconvenience in warm weather?

Mr. Bevin

I will have inquiry made at the factory to which my hon. Friend refers, but I would point out that suitable caps and overalls are widely recommended in the interests of safety as well as on other grounds.
