§ MR. MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, When the Mines Inspectors' Reports for 1874 will be laid upon the Table of the House and circulated among the Members; what is the cause of their delay in being printed; and, when the Special Report of the Bunker's Hill Colliery Explosions will be laid upon the Table of the House?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply,said, those Reports were all in the hands of the printers on the 31st of March. He was sorry that there should be any delay in the printing department, which was not under his control; but he was informed that the Reports would be circulated among hon. Members in a very few days. The special Report on the Bunker's Hill Colliery Explosion would, he hoped, be in the hands of Members in a week.
