HC Deb 20 November 1928 vol 222 cc1570-1W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Home Secretary the number of men and women employed as factory inspectors at the present time; and is there any likelihood of an increase in the number in the next few months?

Sir V. HENDERSON

At the moment there are 165 men and 34 women Inspectors. Vacancies exist for 7 men and these are being filled, but the question of any further increase must await the Report of the Committee which my right hon. Friend has set up to consider the matter.
