Ten Hours Act (1847). This Act, limiting the work of women and young persons (aged 13–18) in textile mills to ten hours a day for five days in the week and eight hours on Saturday, was the result of a sustained campaign from the 1830s managed in Parliament by Lord Ashley (
Shaftesbury) and John
Fielden. The Act was a triumph of welfare legislation over
laissez‐faire doctrine.
