§ 24. Miss Eleanor Rathboneasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that in a certain Durham village, of which particulars have been supplied to him, a colliery company turns out all lights from the main whenever there is an elert, plunging the whole village of 9,000 inhabitants in darkness; and whether he will endeavour to ensure a more satisfactory method of securing an adequate black out?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI understand that the practice to which my hon. Friend refers has been adopted at this village as the result of representations from the local miners' lodge. I am, however, making further inquiry into the matter and will communicate with my hon. Friend.
