HC Deb 11 January 1894 vol 20 c1340
MR. W. M'LAREN (Cheshire, Crewe)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, after the passing of the Employers' Liability Bill, it is the intention of the Government in any way to alter the present arrangements for "injury pay" in Woolwich Arsenal, to which all workmen are now entitled in case of injury from any cause; and whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the Rules under which that pay is granted?

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. WOODALL,) Hanley

(who replied) said: There is no intention of altering the present arrangements for injury pay, to which all workmen in the Ordnance Factories are now entitled, although the Employers' Liability Bill now before Parliament is made to apply to any such workman as if the employer were a private person. There will no objection to lay upon the Table the Rules of the Ordnance Factories under which injury pay is granted.
