“I have no hesitation in saying that a great many of the Government inspectors are a luxury which we cannot afford,” said Mr Norton Francis, at a meeting of the Junior Reform League last evening. “I can give you an example. On a recent Saturday afternoon, a motor delivery van broke down at 12.30 o’clock, and it was an hour later before it could be got ready to complete the round. To keep faith with the customers, the driver, however, decided to deliver the goods which were on the lorry. It was three o’clock when he returned to the garage, and on the following Monday morning the £fo£fietof the firtn employing the man was ‘pulled up’ for having worked a man on a Saturday afternoon without a permit.”
