HC Deb 26 February 1924 vol 170 c273W
Mr. D. GRENFELL

asked the Secretary for Mines whether it is his intention to authorise the appointment of a larger number of inspectors to supervise and inspect the conditions under which horses are employed underground?

Mr. SHINWELL

I am meeting this week a deputation who will make representations on the question of the treatment of horses underground, and I think I had better hear what they have to put before me before expressing any opinion on this matter.
