Excerpt from The Economic Review, 1901, Vol. 11: Published Quarterly for the Oxford University Branch of the Christian Social Union Marylebone was one of the first sanitary authorities to take up the inspection of outworkers, and a good deal of attention is being given to this by the present inspector. From 1895 onwards visits have been paid to those outworkers residing in the district of whom the inspectors were cognizant. In the latter part of 1898 an application was made to the Home Ofice to know whether their lists might be consulted. Every facility was given, but the materials were found to be of little use owing to the frequent changes of addresses of the workers. The next step taken was to apply direct to the various employers of labour. The lists are copied, and the addresses of those who live outside the district are forwarded to the sanitary authorities of their respective districts. A register is kept of the outworkers resident in Marylebone. The number now resident is about 150, but this is by no means a representative number, as the in spector says there are hundreds who have not yet been discovered.
