Mr. Lindsayasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in what employments work after 7 p.m. or all night is permitted for boys under 16 and 18 years of age, respectively.
§ Mr. EdeThe legislation restricting the employment of young persons in the evening or at night consists of detailed provisions in various statutes relating to shops, factories, mines, and a large number of miscellaneous occupations, and I am afraid it would be difficult within the limits of a reply to a Parliamentary Question to set out in detail which employments are affected and to what extent.. If the hon. Member wishes further information about any particular employment I will endeavour to give it to him.
