Factories and Workshops.
Thirty-four new factories, 48 new workshops, and 82 new workplaces
were added to the Register, dealing with various trades.
Out-workers.
Nine February and nine August lists were received, dealing with
150 and 170 out-workers respectively. Of the 320 out-workers
138 belonged to Lambeth and the remainder lived in other areas.
Particulars of the latter were sent to the Authorities concerned,
whilst, in return, 85 lists were received from various outside
authorities dealing with 460 workers living in Lambeth.
Of the total Lambeth out-workers reported 111 were new,
i.e., not previously registered.
The two women inspectors each work in one-half of the Borough,
and are responsible for the inspection and supervision under the
Factory and Workshops Acts, of all places where female labour
is employed. They visit regularly the kitchens, etc., attached to
all restaurants and cafes where food is prepared and cooked, but
in the case of public houses, however, it is found to be more
convenient to leave the inspection of kitchens to the district
sanitary inspectors.
Registrations Effected and Licences Granted.
