HC Deb 01 August 1918 vol 109 cc645-6W
Mr. HANCOCK

asked the Minister of Munitions whether he is aware that an employé, after being refused admission at two gates to a large North Midland munition works, was afterwards found on the works late at night and in a drunken condition, for which he was prosecuted and fined; and whether these works are sufficiently guarded, especially seeing that explosions causing many deaths have recently occurred there?

Mr. KELLAWAY

This case had not previously been brought to my notice. If my hon. Friend will give me privately the name of the factory, I will have inquiries made.
