§ Mr. Martinasked the Home Secretary whether he will take steps as early as possible to reduce the hours worked by juveniles in factories to periods suitable to their age, and to replace them wherever possible by adults at present out of employment?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe Government fully recognises the importance of controlling the hours of young workers, but there are various types of work in which it would be undesirable to eliminate young workers or impracticable to substitute quickly older workers, and in present circumstances there must be latitude to enable young people to work longer hours than would be permissible in peace-time.
