HC Deb 25 June 1942 vol 380 c2153
53. Sir Charles Edwards

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware that, on 14th May, a man received a fatal accident at the Risca colliery, Monmouthshire; that nine men, at great risk to themselves, got him from under the fall and carried him home; that when pay day came they found half-a-shift had been deducted from each of them, including the dead man; and will he see that in future these exasperating things, which are the cause of many disputes and loss of output, shall cease?

Major Lloyd George

I am making inquiries into this case and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
