HC Deb 03 September 1886 vol 308 cc1182-3
MR. ARTHUR WILLIAMS (Glamorgan, S.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the final Report of the Accidents in Mines Commission is out of print; and, if so, whether the Government will take steps for having an edition printed which will enable the large body of Her Majesty's subjects, who are deeply interested in its contents and recommendations, to have access to them?

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

No, Sir; this Report is not yet out of print, there being still about 160 copies left in stock. When this stock is exhausted or much reduced it will be time to consider the advisability of republishing the Report only, without the evidence and illustrations, as a cheap work.
