§ 4. Mr. James Griffithsasked the Secretary for Mines whether he will make a statement on the proposed utilisation of pithead baths in the scheme of air-raid precautions; and whether it is proposed to consult the pithead bath committees at the respective collieries on the matter?
§ Captain CrookshankThe design and equipment of pithead baths makes these buildings specially suitable for the purposes of local air-raid precautions schemes. The responsibility for these schemes, however, falls upon the local authorities, and the question of using and adapting any particular baths installation is a matter for arrangement between the authority and the trustees and management committee of the installation.
