§ Mr. HOPKINasked the Home Secretary if his attention has been called to the position of the miners on compensation from the S. R. Colliery, Cross Hands; and what steps he proposes taking to ensure that these men are paid compensation at once?
§ Mr. SHORTThe attention of my right hon. Friend has not been called to this case before the Debate on Wednesday last.
