§ 31. Mr. T. Smithasked the Secretary for Mines what facilities exist at collieries for workmen and officials to obtain copies of the pamphlet entitled, "What every mining man should know"?
§ Captain CrookshankThe books have been widely advertised, and free copies have been distributed to all the local welfare committees for use in reading rooms and institutes. I am obliged to the hon. Member for the suggestion contained in his question, and I will consider whether any arrangements of the kind suggested can be made.
§ Mr. SmithWould it not be a good thing if some of the more enterprising coalowners were supplied with these pamphlets, and they were made available for the workpeople and the officials?
§ Captain CrookshankI said that I would consider whether they should be made available.
§ Mr. GallacherIs the Minister aware that the Communist party supply some very fine pamphlets?
§ Captain CrookshankThey may be fine pamphlets, but I do not think they will do for this purpose.
