asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how many collieries employing over 1,000 men and boys are not expected to have pithead baths installed before the year 1949.

Mr. Shinwell

Of 229 collieries employing over 1,000 men and boys, 173 already have pithead baths, and the provisional building programme provides for a further 19 such collieries before 1949, leaving a balance of 37 still to be provided with baths.
