Mr. ARTHUR HENDERSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many fatal and non-fatal accidents were reported by occupiers of iron foundries during each of the five years 1904–8; and whether it is possible to say what percentage of them was attributable to lack of proper lighting arrangements?
