Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
In Victorian Britain, there was an abundance of human labour. The labour came from the countryside. Poor peasants and artisans moved to town to work in factories. Wages were quite low due to an abundance of labour. As a result, the industries faced no issues with high labour costs or a labour shortage. Seasonal labour was used at some sites. For example, gasworks and breweries only required labour during the winter months. Human labour was widely used to manufacture items for the upper-class aristocracy and bourgeoisie, who demanded intricate designs and specific shapes. Human labour was preferred over industries that required the introduction of machines and large capital investments for manufacturing processes.
The correct statement is, In Victorian Britain, there was an abundance of human labour.
