§ 7. Mr. Tinkerasked the Minister of Labour if his attention has been drawn to the necessity of the fitting of mechanical wiping down motions in cotton spinning mules; if he is aware of the fatal accident which happened to a woman operative on 25th November, 1943, at an Atherton mill which would not have occurred if a motion of the kind referred to had been installed; and will he have the whole question examined so as to bring about better safety methods.
§ Mr. BevinI agree that mechanical wiping down motions of this kind materially reduce the risk of accident and injury to health, and I am going into the possibilities of making further supplies of them available.
