OUTWORKERS AND HOMEWORKERS.
By the Factory and Workshops Act, 1901, the duty is now
cast upon every employer in certain specified trades.
1. To keep a register of outworkers, to be open to inspection
by any duly authorised Inspector.
2. To send a list of outworkers, their names, addresses, and
the nature of their employment to the Borough Council,
on or before the first of February and on or before the
first of August in each year.
Each Borough on the receipt of such lists, transmits to other
Boroughs the names and addresses of outworkers, or homeworkers
living outside its own district.
The number of lists received and forwarded is shown in the
attached table.
The number of outworkers' premises inspected was 58; it is
intended in 1910 to pay greater attention to this work and to
report fully upon it.
