§ 62. Mr. S. O. DAVIESasked the Secretary for Mines how many men and boys have died from tetanus resulting from colliery accidents in South Wales and in Great Britain, respectively, during the last five years, 1931–35?
§ Sir A. LAMBERT WARDI have been asked to reply. The number of such deaths is very small, but precise information is not available.
§ Mr. S. O. DAVIESAre we to understand that the Secretary for Mines is absolutely incapable of getting the information desired? Most of these deaths are recorded through coroners' inquests, and we are anxious to know whether the number is increasing?
§ Sir A. LAMBERT WARDI will convey those suggestions to the Minister.
