§ 59. Mr. R. T. EVANSasked the Secretary for Mines if he is aware that men not in possession of colliery managers' certificates have recently been made re- 1081 sponsible for the technical management of collieries; and whether, as this is a contravention of the Coal Mines Act, 1911, he will take steps to put an end to this practice?
§ The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Ernest Brown)I am not aware of any instance of such a contravention of the Act, but if my hon. Friend will be good enough to furnish me with information I will, have full inquiries made.
