HC Deb 07 July 1966 vol 731 cc97-8W
Mr. Corfield

asked the Minister of Transport if she is aware of the accident on the M4 works involving the collapse of a mobile crane at Wick Wick Hill, near Downend, Bristol, on 27th June, resulting in the injury of one workman and the narrow escape of four others; what action she will take; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Swingler

The crane was travelling with a load and tipped on its side. The jib landed on and demolished a mess hut, injuring the five men who were in the hut at the time. One of H.M. Inspectors of Factories is investigating the matter and will report to my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour.
