HC Deb 23 February 1911 vol 21 c2078
Mr. JOHN

asked whether, in drawing up his scheme for workmen inspectors of collieries, he will provide that for all Welsh collieries only Welsh-speaking workmen inspectors be appointed?

Mr. CHURCHILL

It will not be necessary to insert any provision on the subject in the scheme now under consideration, as the requirement in the Coal Mines Act as to the appointment of Welsh-speaking inspectors in Wales will apply to the new class of sub-inspectors equally with the existing inspectors.
