HC Deb 08 May 1930 vol 238 c1113
32. Mr. DAY

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to an accident which occurred to a machine known as the big thriller, a figure-of-eight railway, in the North Parade Amusement Park, Skegness, Lincolnshire, on 21st April, which seriously injured several people; and whether any Regulations exist for the regular examination of machines of this kind by inspectors either under the authority of the Home Office or local authorities?

Mr. CLYNES

I have no information about this accident other than what has appeared in the Press. So far as I am aware there is no general law which requires or empowers any public authority to test this kind of construction.
