§ Mr. HANCOCKasked 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. CHURCHILLThe subject is receiving my consideration, but I am not in a position to make any statement at the present moment.
§ Mr. HANCOCKIn 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?
