Factories.
Thirty-five new factories dealing with various trades were added
to the register in the course of the year.
Out-workers.
Fifteen February and fourteen August lists were received,
dealing with 137 and 109 out-workers respectively. Of the 246
out-workers 141 belonged to Lambeth and the remainder lived in
other areas. Particulars of the latter were sent to the authorities
concerned, while in return, 91 lists were received from various
outside authorities dealing with 465 out-workers living in
Lambeth.
Of the total Lambeth out-workers reported 38 were new,
i.e., not previously registered.
The two women inspectors each work in one-half of the borough,
and are responsible for the inspection and supervision under the
Factory Act, 1937, of all places where female labour
is employed. They visit regularly the kitchens, etc., attached to
all restaurants and cafes where food is prepared and cooked, but
in the case of public houses, however, it is found to be more
convenient to leave the inspection of kitchens to the district
sanitary inspectors.
