HC Deb 31 July 1936 vol 315 c1886W
Mr. THORNE

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give the House any information in connection with the explosion in the smoke economiser at the Alexandra Mills, Bradford Road, Batley, Yorkshire; the cause of the explosion; and the number of persons injured?

Sir J. SIMON

I am sorry to learn that three of the injured are dead, but otherwise I cannot add anything to the reply given to the hon. Member for Batley and Morley (Mr. Brooke) yesterday.
