HC Deb 10 February 1938 vol 331 c1282W
Mr. Denville

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what was the total revenue from Entertainments Duty for each month during the calendar year of 1937; and how much of this revenue in this month was attributable to revenue from living entertainment?

Lieut.-Colonel Colville

The information is as follows:

killed by electricity at the Birkly Colliery, Durham Bridge, Cumberland, on Saturday morning, 4th February, at 3.45 a.m., and were brought to the surface of the mine before 6 a.m., but the bodies were not conveyed to their homes until between the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock that night; and can he state who was responsible for preventing the bodies being removed from the colliery premises before that time, and why the delay?

Captain Crookshank

The matter had not previously come to my notice, but inquiries are being made, and the hon. Member shall be informed of the result as soon as possible.
