HC Deb 07 November 1979 vol 973 c176W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if it is his intention to seek the repeal of the Act which restricts employment of male workers on continuous night baking.

Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is satisfied that the baking industry should be subject to restrictive legislation about regular night-work, in contrast to the position in other industries; what representations he has received urging the repeal of the Baking Industry (Hours of Work) Act 1954; and if he will make a statement of his policy in this matter.

Mr. Mayhew

I refer the hon. Member and my hon. Friend to the reply I gave on 22 October to my hon. Friend the Member for Brigg and Scunthorpe (Mr. Brown).—[Vol. 972, c. 25.]
