HC Deb 10 May 1897 vol 49 c107
*SIR CHARLES DILKE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when it is intended to take any Committee stage which may be necessary on the expenses involved by the Workmen (Compensation for Accidents) Bill, on which the question of costs may be raised?

*SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY

I have consulted the officers of the House, and learn that it would not be usual to take any Committee stage that may be necessary in regard to the expenses of arbitrators or compensation to Crown workmen until the Bill has been read a Second time.
