§ Mr. Cassellsasked the Home Secretary the respective qualifications of the members of the Stewart Committee, 1935; whether the evidence given before the Committee was confidential and, if not, is he prepared to order a fully copy of the evidence to be placed in the Library of the House of Commons for Members; and when it is contemplated that steps will be taken to meet the demand for amendment of the law relative to workmen's compensation?
§ Sir S. Hoare:As regards the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 13th April to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Hitchin (Sir A. Wilson). The members of the Committee not mentioned in that answer were His Honour Judge Stewart (chairman), representatives of the Home Office and other Departments, and Mr. Joseph Jones, President of the Mine-workers' Federation. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer to the answer given to the Member for Hitchin, on 24th February. As regards the last part, I am afraid I cannot add anything at present to the reply given to the hon. Member for Llanelly (Mr. J. Griffiths) last Thursday.
