The number of new female outworkers' premises (not previously
registered) registered during the year was 20, and there
were 22 removed from the register.
Inspections of female outworkers' premises were made by
the woman workshops' inspector (Miss Round) to the number of
455. It was found necessary to serve two notices under the Public
Health (London) Act, 1891, to remedy defects. One case of infectious
disease, viz.: diphtheria, was notified from female outworkers'
premises. Such precautionary measures as were necessary were
taken to prevent spread of infection in this case.
Bakehouses.
There were 59 bakehouses on the register at the end of 1932.
Of these 49 use power, and are therefore technically factories.
Thirty-eight of the bakehouses are above ground, and 21 are under
ground. Three premises were removed from the register, they
being no longer used as bakehouses and one, which had been removed
from the register in a previous year, added.
Inspections made during the year numbered 225, and 20 intimation
and 3 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 1932, there were 48 premises on the register,
including railway yards. These premises were systematically
inspected during the year, and 72 inspections were made. Four
intimation and 3 statutory notices were served to remedy nuisances
found on inspection. All these notices were complied with.
