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 Act of 1901 are detailed in the
Home Office Memorandum of March, 1912.
