N,B.—The Wards of the old Parish of Lambeth are retained so that this Table may be comparable with those in previous Reports (1897-1909).
The above 115 Workshops with 24 exceptions were inspected by the Female Sanitary Inspectors.
In only 1 of these 68 cases was separate W.C. accommodation required—persons of one sex only being employed in the other 66 cases.
