Permits of exemption: Aerated Waters Trade Boards

This index is a summary of key information relating to permits of exemption issued to workers who came within the scope of the Aerated Waters Trade Board (England and Wales) and the Aerated Waters Trade Board (Scotland) - individuals who were regarded as being "affected by any infirmity or physical injury which renders [them] incapable of earning that minimum time-rate". The data is taken from summarised applications for permits of exemption submitted to members of the Board. Click on the case number to see a digitised version of the original source - this can include more information.
