§ SIR JOHN LUBBOCKasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, "Whether the Report of the Accidents in Mines Commission is likely to be presented at an early date?
§ MR. H. H. FOWLER(who replied) said: The Secretary of State has communicated with the Chairman of the Accidents in Mines Commission, and finds that much of the final Report of the Commission is in type. There are, however, still some experiments to be made with safety lamps; and an important point bearing on the subject of shot firing in mines has also rendered some further experiments in this direction necessary.
