HC Deb 18 July 1910 vol 19 c849
Mr. HANCOCK

asked the Home Secretary whether the Government proposes to increase the number of mines inspectors in the near future; and, if so, can he inform the House when this increase will be made, and what position these inspectors will occupy as compared with those already appointed?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The subject is receiving my consideration, but I am not in a position to make any statement at the present moment.

Mr. HANCOCK

In the event of the number of inspectors being increased, will steps be taken to bring the fact to the knowledge especially of those in mining circles?
