HC Deb 10 April 1930 vol 237 cc2365-6
90. Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the Secretary for Mines what was the cause of the accident which occurred at the Lady Beatrice Pit, New Herrington, county Durham, by which one person was killed and three persons were injured?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Ben Turner)

As the inquest has not yet been held, and as a preliminary report which I have now received from the Divi- sional Inspector of Mines indicates that the question of taking legal proceedings may arise, it would not be right for me to make any statement at present.
