On the 26th of October 1966, after resolutions by both Houses of Parliament,
the Secretary of State for Wales, Cledwyn Hughes, appointed a Tribunal to
inquire into the causes of, and circumstances relating to, the Aberfan disaster.
Sir Herbert Edmund Davies, a respected south Wales barrister with much
experience of mining law, was appointed chairman.
Davies posed the four broad questions
that the Tribunal would look into.
-
What exactly happened ?
-
Why did it happen ?
-
Need it have happened ?
-
What lessons are to be learnt from what happened at Aberfan ?
136 witnesses were interviewed, 300
exhibits examined and 2,500,000 words heard.
