HC Deb 24 February 1926 vol 192 c530W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Home Secretary how many firms are operating the two-shift system under the Act providing for the same; and the names and location of such firms?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The particulars asked for by the hon. Member are not available. 537 Orders permitting two shifts have been made, but I am advised that a large proportion of these Orders are not actually being made use of at the present time, and that special inquiries would be necessary to ascertain which of the firms are in fact operating this system.
