Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Industries, where production fluctuated with seasons, preferred hand labour in 19th-century Britain. For instance, breweries and gas works were busy during the cold season. They needed more workers to meet the peak demands. Similarly, printers and book-binders had to cater to Christmas demand and wanted extra labourers before December. Winter was when ships were spruced up and repaired at the waterfront. Thus, businesses that flourished during particular seasons demanded not machine labour but hand labour.
