Cotton Mills (Canteens)

HC Deb 12 May 1949 vol 464 c130W

83. Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Labour how many cotton mills in Lancashire are still without canteen service for the workers.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Of the 1,200 mills about 800 have canteens. Of the 400 without canteens about 125 employ fewer than 50 workers and a large proportion of the others employ fewer than 100 workers.
