§ MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanarkshire, N.W.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the inspector obtained his information anent the dispute at Busby-head Pit from the workmen or the manager; and whether he will cause an inquiry to be made by some independent party into the facts of the case, since the men allege that they have documentary and oral evidence to prove the inspector's statement to be untrue?
§ MR. MATTHEWSI am informed by the inspector that he obtained his information from the manager, as none of the miners were at the pit at the time when he made his visit. I consider the inspector to be an independent party, and I have requested him to make full inquiry from the men, and to report further to me on the matter.
