HC Deb 14 October 1943 vol 392 c1060W
Sir R. Rankin

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the numerous serious accidents to shipyard workers, many of which could be obviated, he will cause to be freely distributed in the shipyards the handbook "Ships and Slips," which shows by letterpress and illustrations how many of these accidents occur and could be avoided?

Mr. Bevin

When this booklet was produced last year sample copies were sent to shipbuilding firms and others, including trade unions. A number of firms have bought supplies for distribution, copies are still being sold, and further sales are being encouraged.
