HC Deb 16 February 1938 vol 331 cc1896-7W
Mr. Cassells

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he has any public statement to make regarding the recent colliery disaster at Dumbreck Colliery, Stirlingshire?

Captain Wallace

I have been asked to reply. Until the Fatal Accident Inquiry has been held, my hon. and gallant Friend does not think that it is desirable to add anything to the statement which he made in the House on 1st February.

Mr. Cassells

asked the Secretary for Mines whether it is intended to hold a public inquiry into the recent colliery disaster at Dumbreck Colliery, Stirlingshire; and, if so, when the inquiry will commence?

Captain Wallace

The matter will be considered on the conclusion of the Fatal Accident Inquiry.
