HC Deb 26 July 1938 vol 338 c2916W
Lieut.-Commander Fletcher

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he has any information as to the use of a coal-burster with hydraulic pressure, instead of shot-firing, in any of the collieries in the Warwickshire minefield?

Captain Crookshank

Information on this subject was published in the annual report for 1936 and 1937 of the inspector in charge of the Midland and Southern division; and fuller information was given in a paper published in the Transactions of the Institution of Mining Engineers in February, 1937.
