§ MR. F. A. CHANNING (Northampton)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when the Bill to amend the Law with respect to compensation to workmen for accidents in the course of their employment will be introduced?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI cannot give the hon. Gentleman any pledge in regard to date. We must finish the Bills now under discussion before that Bill is seriously proceeded with. ["Hear, hear!"]
§ MR. CHANNINGDo I understand that this Bill must be postponed in favour of the Military Works Bill and other military proposals?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI said nothing about other military proposals. It cannot be brought in at present while the Education Bill and the Works Bill are on hand.
