HC Deb 23 July 1913 vol 55 c2043
51. Sir W. MENZIES

asked the Home Secretary whether the Coal Mines Act, in so far as it concerns the hours of winding enginemen in coal mines in Lanarkshire, has yet been enforced?

The HOME SECRETARY (Mr. McKenna)

I am informed that, so far as the inspectors have been able to observe, the provision of the Act as to the hours of winding enginemen is being generally complied with in Lanarkshire, and that only two complaints have been received by the inspectors in regard to that county from the Scottish Engine-men's Association.
