HC Deb 15 November 1888 vol 330 c1243
MR. RANDELL (Glamorgan, Gower)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Special Rules under "The Coal Mines, &c. Regulation Act, 1887," have been established for the collieries in East and West Glamorgan; and, if not, why not?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

Special Rules have been established, and are in force in those parts of East Glamorganshire which are in the district of Inspector Martin. With regard to the rest of Glamorganshire, Rules have not yet been established, because arbitration on matters in difference between the Secretary of State and the colliery owners is still pending.
