HC Deb 08 February 1934 vol 285 c1321W
Sir R. GOWER

asked the Secretary for Mines the number of electric storage battery locomotives in use underground in mines, and the number of small, endless-rope, single-drum haulers in use underground for haulage at or near the coal face?

Mr. E. BROWN

Consent to the introduction of electric storage battery locomotives below ground has been given at 17 mines under the Coal Mines Acts. I regret that the other information is not available.
