§ Mr. JOHN WARDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has received any report as to the cause of accidents which occurred to two workmen named John Bradley and William Forbes at the new dock works at Rosyth; and what was the nature of their injuries and their present condition?
§ Mr. McKENNAI have been informed of the cause of the accidents to these two men. Bradley was injured by a travelling crane running over his finger whilst holding on to crane road on monolith staging. The first finger of his left hand was amputated, and thumb and second finger were lacerated. Forbes was injured by rubble rolling down the face of a quarry and fracturing his right leg. I am glad to say that both men are progressing quite satisfactorily.
§ Mr. J. WARDHas the right hon. Gentleman had his attention drawn to the unsatisfactory nature of the staging?
§ Mr. McKENNANo, Sir. No report has been made to me that the staging is unsatisfactory, but I shall inquire into the matter.
