§ LORD RENDLESHAMasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether male attendants in lunatic asylums would come under the regulations of "The Employers' Liability Act, 1880," as being engaged in dangerous occupations?
§ MR. DODSON,in reply, said, that neither male attendants in lunatic asylums, nor any other persons, would come under the regulations of the Act as being engaged in dangerous occupations, inasmuch as there was no such condition laid down in the Act. Whether those persons came within the definition of the persons to whom the Act applied was a matter of legal construction, which might have to be judicially decided hereafter. As at present advised, he believed they would not come within the terms of the Act.
