HC Deb 25 February 1898 vol 54 c16
SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the continuance of accidents from flying shuttles, he will order a Return to be made of fenced and unfenced shuttles?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir M. W. RIDLEY,) Lancashire, Blackpool

Information on this subject is being collected by the Inspectors on their visits to the factories, and, when complete, will be laid before Parliament. I have no power to call for a Return.
