HC Deb 12 November 1936 vol 317 cc1039-40
46. Mr. J. GRIFFITHS

asked the Prime Minister whether he will arrange for this House to have an opportunity of discussing the report on the Gresford colliery disaster?

The PRIME MINISTER

Until the report referred to by the hon. Member has been received I am not in a position to make any statement.

Mr. GRENFELL

Can the Prime Minister take steps to ensure that the report on an occurrence which happened more than two years ago should be made available to the House as soon as possible?

The PRIME MINISTER

There is a question later on the Order Paper.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

In view of the succession of these very terrible disasters —in this case aver 300 lives were lost—cannot the Prime Minister arrange on some suitable occasion for a discussion to take place once the reports are available to the general public?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will consider that. We are very much alive to the importance of the subject.
