MR. PROVAND

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Government intends this session to introduce a Seamen's Compensation Bill to compensate seamen if injured, or the relatives of those killed, in manner similar to the Workmen's Compensation Act of 1897.

*SIR M. WHITE RIDLEY

The Government cannot undertake to introduce any Bill on this subject this session.
