§ Mr. Gallacherasked the Home Secretary whether he will state the number of young persons affected by the granting of inquiries into applications under Section 71 of the Factories Act to exempt employers from the provisions of the Act limiting the hours of labour of young persons; and when reports can be expected on the result of these inquiries?
§ Mr. PeakeI am afraid I cannot give figures as to the numbers of young persons affected, but some information on the subject is given in the reports, copies of which I am placing in the Library of the House.
