§ Mr. BUXTONasked the Minister of Munitions how many males and females under fifteen years of age are employed on night shifts in the national and controlled factories and establishments, respectively?
§ Sir G. CAVEMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. As pointed out in the answer which I gave last Tuesday to the question asked by the Noble Lord the Member for South Nottingham, the night employment of girls under sixteen years is nowhere permitted. I am unable to give the number of boys under fifteen years employed at night, but, as previously stated, there are about 14,000 boys under sixteen.
