HC Deb 10 March 1949 vol 462 cc132-3W
50. Mr. Mainwaring

asked the Minister of Labour if he has considered the report of an inquest upon T. G. Rees of Penygraig, a copy of which has been sent him, who died as a result of an accident sustained at Margam, Port Talbot; and, since the details are regarded as gravely reflecting upon first aid and other medical services provided at these works, what action he proposes to take to avoid a repetition of this experience.

Mr. Isaacs

I understand that the injured man received prompt attention from the first aid and ambulance staff at the Margam steel works, that telephone messages to four doctors proved unavailing, and that the coroner said he was quite satisfied that the ambulance man did what he thought best. I am informed that the first aid arrangements at the works are of a good standard and no action on my part seems to be called for.
