§ Mr. ARTHUR HENDERSONasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he can give the number of non-fatal accidents in factories and workshops during the period, January to October, inclusive, for the years 1909, 1910, and 1911; and the number of non-fatal accidents in foundries for the same periods?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe number of nonfatal accidents in factories and workshops and other places under the Acts reported during the period, January to October inclusive, was 96,603 in 1909; 106,154 in 1910; and 121,505 in 1911. Separate figures for foundries are not available before 1910, nor can they be given for a part only of the year. For the whole of 1910 the number of reported non-fatal accidents in foundries was 20,452, out 2516 of a total of 128,470, for all places under the Acts.
§ Mr. CLYNESDo the employers in sending the account of these accidents give an account of the causes?
§ Mr. McKENNAI am unable to answer that question without notice.
