§ 21. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary for Mines whether he has yet received any reply from the Mining Association on the question of automatic gas detectors; and, if so, whether the reply was satisfactory or otherwise?
§ The SECRETARY for MINES (Captain Crookshank)I have received an interim reply, but it does not satisfy me that sufficient progress is being made with trials of the working of the Firedamp Detector Regulations when the automatic detector is used, and I have taken the matter up again with the Mining Association.
