IX. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The investigation caused much additional work to many people, including in particular officials and workmen of the National Coal Board, officials of the National Union of Mineworkers (Cumberland Area), and members of the Staff of the Safety in Mines Research Establishment, as well as members of my Staff.
I welcome this opportunity of expressing my grateful appreciation of their efforts, and of thanking Mr. R. Lawless, Area Surveyor, and his Staff, who prepared the plans included in the Report.
I have the honour to be, My Lord,
Your Lordship’s obedient Servant,
HENRY HYDE.
