§ 6. Mr. EDEasked the Secretary for Mines how many schemes for pit-head baths are now in process of erection; how many are under consideration; and whether any alteration of policy is anticipated?
Pit-head Baths under Mining Industry Act, 1926. | |
Baths so far completed | 67 |
Baths (including extensions) in respect of which tenders have been approved | 48 |
Baths in respect of which preliminary plans have been approved | 43 |
Total | 158 |
§ As regards the last part of the question, I have no reason to anticipate any alteration in the present policy of the Miners' Welfare Committee in erecting baths as rapidly as possible so long as funds permit.
