HC Deb 16 July 1914 vol 64 c2104
70. Mr. HODGE

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any quarries in the county of Salop have not been visited by an inspector of mines and quarries for a period of over four years; and, if so, whether arrangements will be made to visit such quarries at an early date?

Mr. McKENNA

I am informed that there are some ten quarries regularly worked which have not been inspected within the period mentioned. Almost all of these are very small, employing only two or three persons. I have asked the inspector to arrange for the inspection of these quarries at the earliest opportunity.
