HC Deb 05 July 1910 vol 18 c1496
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked how far the workings of the Wellington Pit, White-haven, extend under the sea beyond the low-water mark?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The distance is rather less than three and a half miles.

Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked on what dates during the last three years the inspector of mines visited the Wellington Colliery, Whitehaven; and whether on the occasions of his visit he examined the intake and return airway, especially the latter, and found these clear and available for the free passage of the men?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have made inquiry, but have not yet received the information asked.
