HC Deb 23 April 1917 vol 92 c2067W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention has been directed to cases of fatal injuries to window cleaners owing to the absence of safety guards; and whether he will intro-duce a Regulation compelling window-cleaning companies to utilise the cheap portable guard for the prevention of fatal accidents?

Mr. DUKE

There have been our fatal accidents to window cleaners in the Dublin Metropolitan Police district during the. last six months. Some Regulation appears to be necessary, and if it cannot be made by way of by-law a Bill will be introduced.
