Explosives for Mining Purposes.

HC Deb 22 August 1911 vol 29 cc2383-4W

Mr. PIRIE

asked whether the Home Office have granted a certificate to Messrs. Kynoch as to the suitability of their explosives for mining purposes?

Mr. CHURCHILL

If my hon. Friend is referring to the testing of explosives for use in certain classes of coal mines under the Explosives in Coal Mines Orders made in pursuance of Section 6 of the Coal Mines. Act, 1896, the answer to his question is that five explosives manufactured by Messrs. Kynoch have passed the test and been placed on the list of explosives permitted for use in those classes of mines.
