§ Mr. Collindridgeasked the Secretary for Mines whether he will make regulations permitting boys at the pits to be relieved from their work to attend safety classes and to make payment to such boys for loss of remunerative time?
§ Captain CrookshankIt seems doubtful if there is power under the Coal Mines Act to make such regulations, and in any case I should not feel justified in proposing any far-reaching regulations on the subject, until I have received and considered the report of the Royal Commission to which other important proposals have been submitted in evidence.
