HC Deb 22 March 1898 vol 55 cc555-6
MR. R. MCKENNA (Monmouthshire, N.)

On behalf of the hon. Member for Merthyr Tydfil, I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when opportunities will be given to those who may take exception to the provisions of schemes to be submitted to the Registrar General of Friendly Societies, in substitution of the Compensation Act, for showing that such schemes are less favourable to the workmen than the provisions of the Act?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

The Registrar requires an abstract of the scheme to be printed and suspended in each place where the men affected by it work, with a notice that any workman may within 28 days send his objections to the Registrar, by whom they will be considered.
