HC Deb 01 April 1963 vol 675 c22W
Dr. A. Thompson

asked the Minister of Power if he will arrange with the National Coal Board for an investigation into the density and effects of diesel fumes on the health of miners working underground in enclosed conditions in the proximity of diesel engines.

Mr. Peyton

My right hon. Friend would be willing to consider any grounds that the hon. Member may have for suggesting that the precautions against diesel fumes required by the Mines and Quarries Act are inadequate.
