HC Deb 27 January 1937 vol 319 c945
57. Mr. De Chair (for Sir Arnold Wilson)

asked the Secretary for Mines what would be the cost of printing the evidence tendered at the inquiry into the Gresford mining disaster; and whether, in justice to all concerned and in view of the importance of the evidence as a guide to the prevention of accidents, he will publish it forthwith at a price within reach of colliery officials and the representatives of owners and men?

The Secretary for Mines (Captain Crookshank)

I am informed that the cost of printing the evidence, including the speeches of Counsel, would be £1,250. With regard to the second part of the question, I think my hon. and gallant Friend will find that the reports of the commissioner and his two assesors deal fully with the matters he refers to; I shall be glad if he will await the publication of the report and repeat his question after he has studied it, if he still thinks it necessary.
