§ 14. Mr. THORNEasked the Home Secretary whether he has received a report in connection with a lift accident to a 14-year-old boy, who was severely injured at Oakley House, Bloomsbury, W.C.; whether he is aware that the accident occurred at the end of his first day's work; and whether he will consider the advisability of issuing orders to prevent young boys of 14 years operating private and public lifts without proper instruction?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI have not received a report upon the accident in question, but I will cause inquiry to be made and communicate later with the hon. Member. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to a question by him on the 6th of February last.
§ Mr. THORNEWill the Home Secretary not consider the advisability of seeking power to issue some kind of regulation dealing with youths using lifts, as there is a very large number of these accidents taking place almost weekly?
