asked the Secretary for Mines whether he has given consideration to the recommendation made on page 367 of the report of the Royal Commission on Safety in Coal Mines, in which they state the electricity regulations have been in their present form since 1913; that a detailed examination of the regulations should be made by electrical engineers, and that a committee should be set up to conduct the examination as soon as possible; when he intends to appoint a committee; and who are to be invited to serve on the committee?
