asked the Minister of Health whether the promised Government Bill to deal with damage by subsidence to houses and other property in mining districts is ready for presentation to the House; and whether it will be introduced this Session or at the beginning of next Session?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Bridgeman)

I have been asked to reply. It will not be possible to introduce the Bill this Session, but I hope to do so early in next Session.

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the Bill is prepared?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

It is being prepared.
