Q. Consider the following statements regarding the factory act 1891
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The correct option is C 2 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect: such provisions for Industrial disputes came as late as 1929 -in the trade dispute act 1929
Statement 2 is correct:
The act provided for the following provisions:
- Increased the minimum age (from 7 to 9 years) & the maximum (from 12 to 14years) for children
- reduced maximum working hours for children to 7 hours a day,
- fixed maximum working hours for women at 11 hours per day with a 1 & ½ hour interval
- Provided a weekly holiday for all.
Statement 3 is incorrect. This law did not apply to British-owned tea & coffee plantations where the labour was exploited ruthlessly & treated like slaves. The Government helped these planters by passing laws such as those which made it virtually impossible for a labourer to refuse to work once a contract was entered into. A breach of contract was a criminal offence, with a planter having the right to get the defaulting labourer arrested.
