HC Deb 06 July 1948 vol 453 c30W
Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how many cases of personal injury caused by explosive matter being included in domestic coal have been reported to his Department; in how many cases compensation was paid; and by whom.

Mr. Gaitskell

There is no statutory obligation for such cases to be reported to me but 33 cases of personal injury have been brought to my notice in the last seven months. I have no information on the second and third parts of the Question.
