Major EVANSasked the Home Secretary whether he can furnish particulars of the number of works and the work-people employed tinder the Factory and Workshops Acts in which the five-day week system has been discontinued?
Sir H. SAMUELI regret that I have no complete information on this point. Only some half dozen cases have been reported by the inspectors in which the system has been discontinued. Generally, their reports are to the effect that once 1041W the system has been adopted it is very unusual for firms to revert to a six-day week.
