HC Deb 17 December 1936 vol 318 c2610
27. Mr. WHITE

asked the Home Secretary whether the conference on the draft rules for the prevention of coal dust explosions in pulverised fuel plants has been held; and, if so, whether any action has been taken in this matter?

Sir J. SIMON

Yes, Sir, and I understand that substantial agreement was reached and that the Chief Inspector is hoping to hear at an early date that the proposals have been definitely accepted by the members of the respective associations.
