Female labour is also largely used in the Chemists'
Works, the Soap Factory, the Confectionery Works, and
the Laundries. The Census of Occupations gives the
proportion of (industrially) occupied married women as
95 per 1,000 of all occupied women.
I have been unable to furnish the information with respect
to the amount of poor-law relief.
There are approximately, however, 750 old age pensioners in
this district. In addition to this, there are the Heston Charity
Trustees and the Isleworth Parochial Charities, who provide monies
for pensions.
To state the extent to which Hospital and other forms of
gratuitous medical relief are utilised, is somewhat difficult. If,
however, the number of deaths occurring in Institutions is stated,
it will probably give a rough idea of the extent to which these
hospitals are used for the treatment of in-patients from this
district.
