HC Deb 09 July 1946 vol 425 cc50-1W
90. Mr. Goronwy Roberts

asked the Minister of Works if he will give a list of persons, and the bodies they represent, who have already given evidence before the Committee of Inquiry into the Welsh Slate Industry: and a list of the persons whom the committee propose to interview before reporting to him.

Mr. Tomlinson

Members of the Committee of Inquiry have visited slate quarries in Carnarvonshire, Merionethshire, Denbighshire and Mongomeryshire and in the course of these visits have taken evidence from both owners and workers. Visits to further quarries are proposed. The Committee has received no offer of evidence from outside the industry, but it is of course open to interested parties to submit evidence for its consideration. Inquiries about giving evidence to the Committee should be sent to the Secretary, Mr. Alwyn D. Rees, at the regional office of the Ministry of Works, 42, Park Place, Cardiff.
