HC Deb 13 December 1933 vol 284 cc364-5
61. Mr. EMRYS-EVANS

asked the Home Secretary whether he has yet received a report on the cause of the deaths of five workmen at the British Celanese Works at Spondon?

Sip J. GILMOUR

Investigations are actively proceeding, but they may take some time as difficult medical and technical questions are raised. My Department will pursue their inquiries as rapidly as possible and I will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as I can usefully do so. As he will be aware, inquests are still pending.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether a decision has yet been reached in regard to compensation?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I must have notice of that question.
