§ Mr. NAYLORasked the Home Secretary whether he will consider the advisability of applying the provisions of the Factory Acts to premises in which machinery is used for multigraphing and other duplicating processes?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI am advised that the processes now in use for multigraphing by means of machines set with types are forms of letterpress printing and that any premises or room in which any such process was carried on regularly and to a substantial extent, would come within the definition of letterpress printing works which are expressly included in the Act. The factory inspectors have been instructed in this sense.
