HC Deb 01 August 1958 vol 592 c227W
Mr. Edelman

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will introduce amending legislation to enable efficient local authorities to be responsible for the powers and duties of Section 34 of the Factories Act, 1937, in the wartime shadow factories, as they were for about 15 years before it was decided that they were Crown factories.

Mr. Wood

I have nothing to add to the reply given to the hon. Member on 2nd July.

Mr. Edelman

asked the Minister of Labour, in view of the fact that the wartime shadow factories are now in civilian occupation and on large-scale civilian production, whether he will introduce legislation to remove these factories from the provisions of the Factories Act, 1937, with respect to Crown factories.

Mr. Wood

No.
