§ MR. MCKENNA (Monmouth, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the condition of the lead works in West Ferry Road in which, a death has recently occurred; if he will inquire whether only four towels were provided for 40 people; and whether the inspector had reported on the observance of the special rules at this factory?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THS HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir M. WHITE RIDLEY,) Lancashire, BlackpoolMy attention has been called to the case. The report I have received shows that it is not the case that only four towels were supplied for 40 men, the provision of towels being ample. This was also proved in the proceedings which were taken in the case under the Employers' Liability Act, and which resulted in the verdict of a jury for the defendant. The inspector has reported on the question of the observance of the special rules in this factory.
