HC Deb 13 May 1936 vol 312 c385W
Mr. THORNE

asked the Home Secretary whether he has received a report from his factory inspector in connection with the collapse of a 10-ton steam crane, which imprisoned its driver, at the steel works of Messrs. Samuel Fox and Company, Limited, of Stockbridge, near Sheffield; whether he can state the cause of the accident; and whether the crane was lifting more than its registered tonnage?

Mr. LLOYD

I understand that this accident occurred last Sunday and that the inquest is being held to-day. I cannot make any statement at present as to the cause.
