Note.—The Factory and Workshop Act, 1901 (s. 132) requires the Medical
Officer of Health in his Annual Report to the District Council to report
specifically on the administration of that Act in workshops and workplaces,
and to send a copy of his Annual Report, or so much of it as deals with this
subject, to the Secretary of State (Home Office). If the Annual Report is
presented otherwise than in print, it is unnecessary to include in the copy
sent to the Home Office the portions which do not relate to factories, workshops,
workplaces or homework. The duties of Local Authorities and the
Medical Officer of Health under the Acts are detailed in the Home Office
Memoranda, issued to all Districts, Councils and Medical Officers of Health.
