HC Deb 19 June 1934 vol 291 c177
7. Mr. GEORGE GRIFFITHS

asked the Secretary for Mines what has been done in regard to the death of Horace Turner and the breaches of the Coal Mines Act?

Mr. E. BROWN

I have now examined the evidence and reports relating to the death of Horace Turner at Upton Colliery on 22nd May. There appears to have been some neglect of statutory duty on the part of certain officials of the mine, and so far as evidence is available, legal proceedings will be taken under the Coal Mines Act.
