HC Deb 30 May 1933 vol 278 cc1698-9
15. Mrs. SHAW

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has considered the communication sent to him from the Uddingston Ratepayers' and Electors' Committee regarding the safety of a waterless gasholder recently erected by the Lanarkshire County Council at Uddingston gasworks; and if he can give any information as to the safety of this type of gasholder?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I have seen the communication to which the hon. Lady refers. I am awaiting a report by the Institution of Gas Engineers regarding the recent disaster in Germany in which this type of gasholder was involved.
