HC Deb 14 April 1910 vol 16 c1418
Mr. STEEL-MAITLAND

asked when the special rules applicable to rock-drilling in ganister mines were imposed, and what are the statements referred to which have been made by workers that the effect of the special rules have been most beneficial; and whether these statements were oral or in writing, and, if in writing, whether they are to be found in any published report or document?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The special rules were established in May, 1905. The statements referred to in my answer to the previous question of the hon. Member have been statements made orally by officials, and workmen at the mines to the inspectors during their inspections; none, I understand, were in writing.

Mr. STEEL-MAITLAND

Will the right hon. Gentleman lay on the Table copies of the answers which have been made, together with the circumstances under which they were furnished?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Will the hon. Member give notice of that?
