Forty-seven new female out-workers (out-workers not previously
registered) were registered during the year.
373 inspections of female out-workers' premises were made
by the woman workshops' inspector (Miss Round). It was found
necessary to serve one notice under the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891, for dirty condition of premises found on inspection.
Bakehouses.
There were 76 bakehouses on the register at the end of 1923.
Of these 47 use mechanical power, and are therefore factories.
49 of the bakehouses are above ground, and 27 are under ground.
298 inspections were made during the year, and 42 intimation
and 10 statutory notices were served, mainly for failure to
carry out the half-yearly lime-whiting of the bakehouses within
the statutory period.
Warehouses and Wharves.
At the end of 1923, there were 46 premises on the register,
including railway yards. These premises were systematically
inspected during the year, and 60 inspections were made. Six
notices were served to remedy nuisances found on inspection.
