§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Secretary for Mines if he is aware of the existence of the safety-scotch for runaway colliery tubs (Patent No. 617,718); and, if so, will he state whether he is prepared to recommend its universal adoption with the view of greater safety in the coalmining industry?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe invention in question is known to the Mines Department. But the hon. Member will understand that, while I am very anxious to do everything possible to increase safety in mining, it is impossible for me to single out particular inventions for recommendation.
