§ 25. Mr. Home Robertsonasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many homeworkers are currently registered with his Department; and what proportion of the total number of homeworkers this constitutes.
§ Mr. GummerThere is no requirement for homeworkers to be registered with this Department. Section 133 of the Factories Act 1961 does, however, place a duty on persons giving out homework in specified trades to send lists of the names and addresses of homeworkers to the local authorities twice a year.
