Outworkers.
Part VIII of the Factories Act requires the occupier of a
factory who employs persons to carry out certain classes of work
in their own homes to supply a list of such persons to the District
Council every six months. Fifty-two notifications have been received
and fifty-six inspections made ; in every instance the work was
found to be carried out under suitable conditions.

All parts of the Shops Acts are administered, including hours
of closing, assistants' half-holiday, Sunday trading, comfort and
welfare of assistants, etc. The Sanitary Inspectors made 1,974 visits
for this purpose during the year, including 1,172 which were made
outside normal office hours, i.e., in the evenings and on Sundays.
