HC Deb 10 February 1904 vol 129 c852
MR. FENWICK (Northumberland, Wansbeck)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any steps are being taken to prepare special rules for the purpose of regulating the use of electricity in mines, in accordance with the recommendations of the Departmental Committee.

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

The Report of the Committee on the use of electricity in mines is now before me, and I am considering the best steps to take with the view of establishing special rules in accordance with its recommendations.

MR. TENNANT (Berwickshire)

Will the Report be laid on the Table of the House?

* MR. AKERS DOUGLAS

There can be no objection to that as far as I know. I think it has been done; if not, I will consider the point.
