HC Deb 11 March 1947 vol 434 c147W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Labour what amendments will have to be made in the provisions of the Factories Act to enable the suggested two-shift system in industry to be put in operation.

Mr. Isaacs

Schemes for obtaining a greater spread-over of working hours which are being considered in industry vary considerably, and it is not possible to forecast what adjustments of the various provisions of the Factories Act will be needed.
