OUTWORKERS
Ninety-nine visits to homes of outworkers were made
during the year. The conditions generally were found to be
quite satisfactory. There were no cases of default in sending
lists of outworkers to the Council, nor was it necessary to serve
any notices or institute any prosecutions for work carried on in
unwholesome premises (Sec. 111).
