Sections 7 to 10 of this Act are amongst the enactments which may be cited as the Public Health Acts. Background In the November 1883 issue of '' National Review'' Conservative Party leader Lord Salisbury wrote an article titled "Labourers' and Artisans' Dwellings" in which he argued that the poor conditions of working class housing were injurious to morality and health. "''Laissez-faire'' is an admirable doctrine but it must be applied on both sides", Salisbury argued, as Parliament had enacted new building projects (such as the Thames Embankment) which had displaced working-class people and was responsible for "packing the people tighter": Thousands of families have only a single room to dwell in, where they sleep and eat, multiply, and die...
