§ 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.
