HC Deb 02 May 1889 vol 335 c980
MR. AIRD (Paddington, N.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he can now state when the Government propose to bring forward the Employers' Liability Bill?

MR. MATTHEWS

I am unable at present to name a day when it will be possible to bring forward the Employers' Liability Bill; but the earliest available opportunity will be taken.

MR. AIRD

Is the Bill which the right hon. Gentleman proposes to bring in drawn on the lines of the Bill which passed through the Standing Committee last year?

MR. MATTHEWS

When the Bill is brought in it will be based on the lines of the Bill of last year.
