HC Deb 05 November 1912 vol 43 cc1024-5
71. Mr. DUNCAN MILLAR

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the remaining additional sub-inspectors of mines, to be provided under the scheme recently sanctioned by the Treasury, will be appointed; and how many of these additional appointments will be allocated to Scotland?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. McKenna)

I understand that the Board for Mining Examinations hope to complete their consideration of the applications for appointment which have been sent in by the end of this month. If so, the examination of the candidates who receive a nomination will take place early in the New Year. Two of the remaining appointments will be allocated to Scotland.
