HC Deb 14 June 1888 vol 327 c110
MR. FENWICK (Northumberland, Wansbeck)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he has received from the Leicestershire district objections to Special Rules; and, whether he intends to take any steps to see that the wishes of the workmen are duly and properly attended to?

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

Yes, Sir; I have received such objections. With the view of meeting the wishes of the workmen in this district certain amendments of the Special Rule were prepared by the Inspector, approved by me, and proposed to the owners, by whom they have generally been accepted.
