Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Labour whether he will give an estimate as to the extent to which additional sanitary conveniences and washing facilities have been provided in shops and offices under the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 of the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act since that Act came into force; and whether he is satisfied with the progress that is being made in that connection.
§ Mr. Fernyhough:I regret that the information asked for by the hon. Member is not available. From the reports of enforcing authorities, however, I am satisfied that compliance with these two sections of the Act is generally satisfactory.
