§ 54. Mr. T. Smith (for Mr. Thorne)asked the Home Secretary what was the cause of the accident at the Penrhos aerodrome, near Pwllheli, Wales, where two men were injured on Tuesday last?
§ Sir S. HoareI have obtained a report from which it appears that a stake holding one of the guy ropes of a hand crane came out of the ground, and the crane lurched causing a man, who was on the ground hauling the lifting tackle, to stagger backwards and fall. His head struck another guy stake and he received a scalp wound from which I am glad to learn he is now recovering. The other man was bruised by the swinging load, not, I understand, severely.
