asked the Home Secretary whether he can give any information in connection with a. man who died on 2nd November after working in compressed air at the bottom of a 100-foot shaft at the tunnel extension of the Elephant and Castle sub-station; whether he has seen the recommendation of the jury at the inquest on the man, and what steps he proposes to take?

It appears that the recommendations of the Institution of Civil Engineers as regards the medical examination of workers engaged on this class of work were generally carried out, but that there was, unfortunately, some misunderstanding as to the medical examination of this particular man, who had assured the foreman that he was fit for the work. The matter will be further considered.
