§ MR. STUART-WORTLEY (Sheffield, Hallam)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Departmental Committee on Industrial Statistics has power to make recommendations for bringing into uniformity with the statistics of accidents in mines, factories, and workshops the similar statistics of industries, such as railways and shipping, not inspected by Home Office Inspectors?
§ MR. ASQUITHThe Departmental Committees will deal only with those industries which are under the jurisdiction of the Home Office. Their Reports will he communicated to the Board of Trade, and the two Departments will, no doubt, consider in consultation whether and how far uniformity is attainable.
