HC Deb 27 November 1934 vol 295 c663
35. Mr. TINKER

asked the Secretary for Mines the number of inspections made by His Majesty's Inspectors in the mines of Lancashire during the first six months of 1934; and whether these include a visit to every mine in that period?

Mr. E. BROWN

740 underground and 175 surface inspections were made by His Majesty's Inspectors in the mines of Lancashire during the first six months of 1934. With the exception of 13 mines where very few men were employed, every active mine was visited at least once during that period.

Mr. TINKER

Have any of these visits been paid during the night shift?

Mr. BROWN

If the hon. Member will put that question down, I will try to get the information.
