HC Deb 23 August 1894 vol 29 cc355-6
MR. PROVAND (Glasgow, Blackfriars)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he has received any Report from the Inspector appointed for the purpose relating to the employment of women in coal mines in India; and, if not, can he give any information as to when it may be expected?

MR. H. H. FOWLER

The Report to which the hon. Member refers has not been received, but it may be expected shortly.

MR. PROVAND

Will it be printed and distributed during the Recess, or can it only be moved when the House resumes next Session?

MR. H. H. FOWLER

I am afraid it cannot be done during the Recess, but I will inquire.
