HC Deb 12 December 1938 vol 342 c1627W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give any information in connection with the recent fatal accident at the Park Gate Iron and Steel Company, at Rotherham?

Mr. Lloyd

I understand that a fitter was engaged in carrying out some adjustments on an overhead crane and somehow fell off the platform on which he was working, sustaining fatal injuries. There did not appear to be any breach of the Factory Acts involved and the verdict at the inquest was accidental death.
