Mr. DUNCAN MILLAR
asked the Home Secretary what is the fee required from individual candidates for examination for firemen and shot-firers' certificates under the Coal Mines Act, 1911, by the Herio-Watt College and the Royal Technical College, Glasgow, respectively?
Mr. McKENNA
The maximum fees to be charged for these certificates by the approved authorities were fixed by the Home Office as follows:—For firemen's certificates…
| (a) For the full examination (i.e., gas tests, air measurements, and hearing) | 7s. 6d. |
| (b) For candidates taking two parts only of the examination (e.g., gas tests and hearing) | 5s. 0d. |
| (c) For candidates taking one part only (i.e., existing firemen employed in mines in which gas is unknown, who will be examined as to their hearing only) | 2s. 6d. |
| For shot-firers' certificates (examination in gas tests only) | 2s. 6d. |
