HC Deb 19 July 1938 vol 338 c2008W
Mr. Gallacher

asked the Secretary for Mines how many pits in Fife are still without pit-baths; and what arrangements are in hand to provide early installations in those pits?

Captain Crookshank

Pithead baths have been completed at eight of the largest mines in the Fife and Clackmannan area. Of the remaining 13 mines which employ more than 400 persons, applications for baths have been made on behalf of ten, and installations are under construction or in preparation at five of these The accelerated programme of building already announced is expected to provide baths for all the mines in this area, except the small ones, during the next six years.
