HC Deb 07 March 1933 vol 275 cc973-4
12. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Secretary for Mines when lie expects to receive the final report of the tests on automatic detectors; and whether such reports will be made available for Members of this House?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Ernest Brown)

I expect to receive reports within the next few weeks on the trials of the Ringrose Alarm at Mosley Common and Houghton Main Collieries. The report from Wales is not due till next month. I cannot answer the last part of the question until I have had an opportunity of considering the reports.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Will the hon. Member say whether, when the report is available, the Miners' Federation will be supplied with a copy?

Mr. BROWN

I will bear that in mind.
