After adjusting the lists, it appears that the actual nuniber of outworkers
resident in Westminster is 1,325; this is less than the apparent
number shown on the accompanying table, as more than one employer
may send work to the same person. These live in 788 houses, which have
been visited specially by the woman sanitary inspector, and also by the
male inspectors in the course of their ordinary work. Defects relating
to cleansing of walls or defective or insufficient W.C. accommodation,
unventilated gas heaters, dirty floors, presence of bugs, &c., were found
and amended in a number of instances. No prosecutions were taken for
doing outwork in unwholesome premises (Sec. 108) or in infected premises
(Sec. 109, 110).
