§ MR. DIMSDALEsaid, in the absence of his hon. Friend (Mr. Greene) he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he will cause the Reports of the Inspectors of Coal Mines for the past year to be laid upon the Table of the House, in order that Members may read them before the promised measure with reference to accidents in Coal Mines comes under discussion?
MR. BRUCEsaid, in reply, that these Reports had been already sent in, and he hoped that the whole of them might be published within the next month—a very much earlier period than usual. Recognizing the importance of having the Reports printed at an early date, the Government hoped they might be able by dint of pressure to lay them on the table soon.
