HC Deb 20 July 1937 vol 326 c1953
72. Mr. T. Smith

asked the Secretary for Mines to what extent simultaneous shot-firing is taking place; and whether the inquiry into this method is taking place?

Captain Crookshank

The investigations into simultaneous shot-firing which by special permission were made in certain safety lamp pits were brought to an end in July, 1936. Like investigations are still proceeding in certain naked light mines and stone drifts; for these no special permission is required.
