39. Mr. WINTERTONasked the Secretary of Mines whether, in view of the cases of overtime working in coal mines which have been brought to his notice, he will issue an instruction to his in spectors that periodical inspection of coal mines must be made intermittently during the night shifts?
§ Mr. SHINWELLIt is already the practice for special inspections to be made during the night shift in cases where the circumstances are such as to require it, but as regards overtime working, sufficient evidence is usually available without this, from the register kept at the mine and from other sources.
