It also reduced the maximum working hours for children to 7 hours a day. · Statement 2 is incorrect: Working hours for men were unregulated whereas working hours for women were fixed at 11 hours a day with a break of one-and-a-half-hour. · Statement 3 is incorrect: It also provided for a weekly holiday for all the workers. But, British-owned tea and coffee plantations were exempted from application of these laws because maximum workers were exploited in these factories. This was the second such Act towards the welfare of workers. First labour legislation was passed in 1881. It prohibited children below 7 years of age to work in factories. It also provided 4 holidays in a month to the children.
