7. Miss WARDasked the Secretary for Mines whether he has yet received reports from all districts relative to the working of Part I of the Coal Mines Act for the first quarter of this year?
§ Mr. E. BROWNNo, Sir, but I am asking those districts which have not yet furnished their reports to expedite their preparation.
Miss WARDCan my hon. Friend say when he thinks it will be possible to present a report to the House upon this matter?
§ Mr. BROWNIt is unlikely that we shall get a report published before, say, the second week in June or thereabouts. There are masses of statistics which are not yet available.
