FACTORY AND WORKSHOPS.
By the Factory and Workshops Act, 1901, I am required
to " report specifically on the administration of this Act in
workshops and workplaces," and to send a copy to the Home
Secretary, The details will be found appended. In my
personal visits, I saw that there was sufficient airspace,
ventilation, and proper sanitary conveniences separated for the
sexes. Mr. Pointon visits the places regularly, so that no
conditions inimical to health may arise.
