HC Deb 12 April 1938 vol 334 c912
27. Mr. Tinker

asked the Secretary for Mines to what extent the underground conveyance of men to their work is in operation; and will he have this question examined, so that when men have to travel long distances this method can be adopted?

Captain Crookshank

I regret that the information asked for in the first part of the question is not available. As regards the second part, I have nothing to add to the answer given to the hon. Member on 9th November last.

Mr. Tinker

That answer was given six months ago, and nothing has been done. What we want to know is when we are likely to get the report of the Commission on this matter?

Captain Crookshank

That is another question, and I answered it the other day that I could not give a date.
