HC Deb 17 February 1888 vol 322 c718

In reply to Mr. T. E. ELLIS (Merionethshire),

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

said, he had received no information as to a serious accident reported in the evening papers at a slate quarry in North Wales. He must adhere to his answer, already given, that the Government could not see their way to legislate this Session for the better regulation or inspection of quarries.

MR. T. E. ELLIS

said, owners and quarrymen were agreed, and the subject would not be a contentious one.
