§ 55. Mr. WARDLEasked whether, under the Regulation of Railway Act, 1871, Section 6, and the Board of Trade Order of 21st December, 1906, provision is made for the transfer from the non-fatal to the fatal list of accidents in the case of death resulting after the accident is reported to the Board of Trade; and what period of time is allowed to elapse between the accident and death in recording such accident in the fatal or non-fatal list?
Mr. ROBERTSONWhere an injury originally returned as non-fatal subsequently proves to be fatal, the accident is recorded as a fatal one if the death occurs before the issue of the annual figures, i.e., within about three months after the end of the year in which the accident occurred.
