§ MR. D. CRAWFORD (Lanark, N.E.)(for Mr. PHILIPPS) (Lanark, Mid) asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he will lay upon the Table the Minutes of Evidence taken before the Udston Colliery Inquiry?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)If the hon. Member will refer to pages 10 to 14 of the Report he will see that they contain an abstract of the evidence given by the principal witnesses, both as to the facts and the causes of the explosion. Under these circumstances, I hope the hon. Member will not press me to incur the serious expense of printing a verbatim copy of the evidence, which is very bulky. I shall be happy to show it to the hon. Member.
