HC Deb 08 February 1937 vol 320 c58W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give the House any information relative to the accident that took place during the demolition work on the site of the old Cambridge Theatre, E.; whether he can state the cause of the accident; what precautions were taken to prevent it; and the number of persons injured?

Mr. Lloyd

These operations are not at present subject to the Factory Acts, but I understand that the accident was due to the collapse of part of a protective hoarding and that two persons were injured but not seriously.
