HC Deb 13 December 1934 vol 296 c536
12. Mr. THORNE

asked the Home Secretary whether he has received a report from his factory inspector in connection with the serious explosion at Nobel's Chemical Works, Stowmarket; whether he can state the cause of the explosion; and whether any persons were injured?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I understand that last Friday a man who was soldering a brass label on a drum was killed through the drum exploding, and that no one else was injured. I will consider what further action is called for.
