HC Deb 19 June 1935 vol 303 c365
59. Mr. DUNCAN GRAHAM

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he is aware of complaints being made to the mines inspector of breaches of the Mines Act, at Folkens Mine, Wilsontown, Lanarkshire; whether any inquiry has been made; and what action his Department proposes to take in the matter?

Captain CROOKSHANK

I presume the hon. Member refers to allegations made in regard to recent events at Folkens Mine, which resulted in the dismissal of a fireman from the colliery. If so, I cannot say more at present than that I am having the alleged breaches of the law investigated.
