§ 53. Sir Charles Edwardsasked 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 GeorgeI am making inquiries into this case and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
