§ 67. Mr. Daggarasked the Secretary for Mines whether it is proposed to continue the practice of constructing pithead baths, and, if so, can he state the date on which it is contemplated to commence the construction of a pithead bath at the South Celynen Colliery, Newbridge, Monmouthshire, as the ballot taken by the workmen before the commencement of such a scheme was held five years ago?
§ The Secretary for Mines (Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd)The Miners'Welfare Committee propose to continue building pithead baths so far as conditions in the building and engineering trades permit, but the future is not at present sufficiently certain to enable the committee to give a date for commencing an installation at South Celynen Colliery.
