In this district much difficulty is experienced in getting in the
lists from occupiers of factories, workshops, etc., who employ outworkers.
At the beginning of the year the Medical Officer of Health
sent out notices setting forth the requirements of the Act, to which
the greater number of employers responded by sending in their lists,
but in August very few were spontaneously sent in. A limited
number of employers have altogether failed to comply with this
section 107 of the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901.
The outworkers living in this Borough are almost entirely employed
in the manufacture of articles of wearing apparel.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
ALICE TBEBAY.
