58. Mr. David Adamsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he can give figures showing the number of accidents and those that proved fatal that have occurred at the docks and wharves in England, Wales and Scotland during the period from January, 1935, to the nearest available date, giving separate figures for the Port of London?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd)The number of fatal accidents reported to the Factory Department for docks in Great Britain during the three years 1935 to 1937 was 259. The corresponding figure for non-fatal accidents causing more than three days' disablement was 20,837. I regret that separate figures for London are not available.
