§ Mr. Gallacherasked the Secretary for Mines whether he is aware that the Government inspector in Edinburgh, 345W following reports from workmen's inspectors in Fife, never acknowledges receipt of those reports or invites the workmen's inspectors to accompany him on an inspection; and will he take steps to see that the Government inspector acts in closer co-operation with the workmen's inspectors?
§ Mr. LloydI will make inquiry on these particular points and communicate with the hon. Member, but in general I can say now that all reports by workmen's inspectors are closely examined by His Majesty's inspectors and that all matters which require their attention at the mine or which the workmen's representatives may wish to discuss are dealt with immediately.
