HC Deb 16 March 1925 vol 181 cc1874-5W
Mr. SCURR

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that a large number of factories and workshops in the east and north-east of London escape inspection owing to the physical impossibility of the existing staff of inspectors to visit; and if he will consider the advisability of increasing the number of inspectors

Sir W. JOYNSON HICKS

The suggestion in the question that a large number of places escape inspection is incorrect, but the position, both in these and other districts, is not entirely satisfactory, and I am considering the whole question very carefully.
