HC Deb 30 March 1936 vol 310 c1623
44. Mr. THORNE

asked the Home Secretary whether notification is obtained from all employers by his Department when accidents are sustained by their workpeople that necessitate their being away from their employment three days or more; and whether the nature and cause of the accident are in all cases reported?

Mr. LLOYD

Accidents involving the disablement of a person employed for more than three days are reportable to the district inspector of factories when they occur in a factory or workshop or in certain other classes of premises to which the provisions of the Factory Act as to notification apply. Particulars as to the cause or nature of the accident are required to be given.

Mr. THORNE

Then if I had waited a few more days, I should have got all the information about the accident?

Mr. LLOYD

That may be so.
