Protection For Coal Miners
INSPECTION RULES MAY PROVE INADEQUATE
London, Feb. 23.
The House of Commons this evening discussed the Gres- ford colliery disaster, in which 265 lives were lost in September, 1984. Both the opening Opposition speaker, Dr. David Grenfell, himself a miner from his 12th. to his 35th, year, and the Secre tary for Mines, Captains Crookshank, who followed him, describ- ed the accident as one of the most appalling in post-war mines' record.
The debate arose out of the report recently made public of the inquiry into the explosion, and Dr. Grenfell, who paid a tribute to the ability and patience of the Chief Inspector of Mines, Sir Henry Walker, who presided over the Commission, said a study of the report Impelled serious disquiet about the whole machinery for supervision and inspection which Parliament had been building up för nearly a century.
He felt that inspection had proved incffective at Gresford. He hoped the House would make it unmistak- ably clear that it required the strict- est administration of the law and re- gulations, and that, if new legislation were necessary, it would pass it to protect the men who contributed to the wealth of the country and the comfort of its people by coni- getting.

"It's
older
and better than ever”
said Johnnie Walker
Only whisky that has matured for long years in the wood is used in the blending of Johnnie Walker; and thanks to the huge stocks of whiskies which have been laid down through- out the years, Johnnie Walker is older and better than ever.
All over Scotland these fine whiskies arc patiently maturing, waiting to give, when "roundness " and skilfully blended, that harmony which has always been a distinctive feature of Johnnie Walker. Remember to look for the famous square bottle; remember to ask for Johnnie Walker by name.
