M. W. Ridley. Whitehall, Ist May, 1896. ORDER, DATED JULY 20, 1899.* 1899. No. 550. Whereas the Factory and Workshop Act, 1878, section 52,f contains special exceptions to the effect that the provisions of the Act which require (a) that all the children, young persons, and women employed in a factory or workshop shall have the times allowed for meals at the same hour of the day, and (6) that a child, young person, or woman shall not, during any part of the times allowed for meals in a factory or workshop, be employed in the factory or the workshop, or be allowed to remain in a room in which a manufacturing process or handicraft is being carried on, shall not apply in the cases therein referred to; and power is given to the Secretary of State to extend such exceptions to other classes of factories and workshops: And whereas it has been proved to my satisfaction that in the class of factories wherein there is carried on the spinning of artificial silk, it is necessary by reason of the continuous nature of the process and the special circumstances affecting such class to extend thereto the foregoing special exceptions, and that such extension can be made without injury to the health of the children, young persons, and women affected thereby: Now, I, the Right Honourable Sir Matthew White Ridley, Baronet, one of Her Majesty’s Principal Secretaries of State, do by this Order, made under Part II. of the said Act, extend such special exceptions accordingly to the factories in which is carried on— THE SPINNING OF ARTIFICIAL SILK, subject to the following conditions :— (1) One set of meal hours shall be appointed for the children, young persons, and women whose ordinary employment in the factory is the spinning of artificial silk; another set for all other children, young persons, and women employed in the factory. * This Order was gazetted July 25, 1899. + 41 and 42 Vict., c. 16; now s. 40 (4) of the Factory and Workshop Act. 1901.
