The Chimney Sweepers Act 1788 was a British Act of Parliament passed to try to stop child labour. Many boys as young as four were being used as chimney sweeps. This act stated that no boy should be bound apprentice before he was eight years old. His parents consent must be obtained, the master sweep must promise to provide suitable clothing and living conditions, as well as on opportunity to attend church on Sundays. The clause inserted into the Bill requiring Master Sweeps to be licensed was voted down in the House of Lords. ==References== ;Notes ;Bibliography * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chimney Sweepers Act 1788」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
