§ 36. Mr. James Griffithsasked the Secretary for Mines whether the investigation undertaken by his officers into the comparative freedom of the French coal mines from explosions has been completed; whether he can indicate what conclusions the investigators have reached; and whether he intends to publish their report?
§ Captain CrookshankThe investigation has been completed and a report now in preparation will be submitted to me shortly. I will then seek the concurrence of the French Government to the publication of the report; meantime the hon. Member will not expect me to anticipate its findings.
§ Mr. GriffithsIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman making arrangements for that report to be submitted to members of the Royal Commission, who are now preparing their report?
§ Captain CrookshankOh, yes, Sir, they are sure to have a copy of it.
