§ 36. Mr. LUNN (for Mr. THORNE)asked the Home Secretary if he has received a report from the factory inspector in connection with the serious accident at Wimbledon when a man was drawn into a binding machine; and if he can state whether the machine in question was adequately protected?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI have received a report upon the accident to Wilfred Sand-ford on the 18th April, to which I think the hon. Member refers. I am glad to say this accident turned out not to be serious: the injured man is expected to return to work in a week. It occurred at a part of the machine at which danger had not previously been anticipated and additional fencing is now being provided.
