HC Deb 17 February 1896 vol 37 c446
MR. E. BOULNOIS (Marylebone, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the large increase in the number of deaths resulting from accidents caused by the use of dangerous lamps for mineral oil (largely made in Germany); and, whether he will consider the advisability of re-appointing the Select Committee of 1894, with a view to prevent the sale of such lamps?

MR. JESSE COLLINGS

The Secretary of State has carefully considered this question in accordance with the undertaking which he gave when replying to a similar question in August last, and he hopes to be able to secure the re-appointment of the Select Committee.

Forward to
