Note.—The Factory and Workshop Act, 1901 (s.132), requires the Medical Officer of Health in his
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 otherwisethan in print, it is unnecessary to include in
the copy sent to the Home Office the portions which do not relate to factories, workshops, laundries, 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 December, 1904. A further Memorandum, on the Home
Work Provisions of the Factory Act, was issued to all District Councils and Medical Officers of Health in
October, 1906.
