HC Deb 02 July 1957 vol 572 cc104-5W
Mr. Owen

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that units of the light clothing industry are in existence in the areas of Marylebone, Islington, Camden Town, and immediate areas in London, operating factories in contravention of the 1948 Factory Act, and that by virtue of this they are a source of unfair competition; and whether he will institute an investigation and make a statement.

Mr. Carr

The Answer to the first part of the Question is "No," but if the hon. Member will let me have details of the premises concerned and of the alleged Contraventions of the Factories Acts I will have inquiries made.
