§ SIR EDWARD WATKINasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, should the honourable Member for Chester fail to bring on his question as to the liability of railway employers to compensate workmen injured in common employment, he will give facilities for the discussion of the question of providing, under legislative sanction, insurance funds to meet all cases of injury and death by accidents, however caused, in the conduct of all our national industries alike?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERMr. Speaker, the Question rather surprises me, because I see that my hon. Friend the Member for Chester (Mr. Raikes) has his Notice down for to-night, and I presume if he can he will proceed with it. I think it would have been better to first ask him whether he had any intention to give up his Motion; but even if he did give up his Motion, I do not think I could give any facilities such as the hon. Member suggests. I shall have to be asking for facilities myself.
