HC Deb 10 December 1902 vol 116 c656
*SIR CHARLES DILKE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Departmental Committee on the Notification of Accidents have yet reported to him; and, if so, whether they have made any recommendation which will have the effect of distinguishing in the statistics of mining accidents between those occurring to male persons under sixteen and under twenty or twenty-one years of age.

*THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. AKERS DOUGLAS,) Kent, St. Augustine's

I have just received the Report of this Committee and will lay it on the Table with a view to its issue to Members as soon as possible. The suggestion of the right hon. Baronet, which was referred by me to the Committee, is dealt with in the Report.
