HC Deb 15 March 1917 vol 91 cc1314-5W
Colonel Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Home Secretary whether the Home Office have considered proposals for the amendment of the Factory Act, especially as regards hours and spells of work, and for giving effect to the findings of the Departmental Committee on Truck; and whether, if so, it is proposed, at an early date, to submit measures on these questions to the House?

Sir G. CAVE

Both these questions will come up for review after the conclusion of the War, but I do not think it would be practicable to deal with them at the present time. The experience accumulated during the War will, no doubt, be of value in dealing with the questions of hours and spells of work.
