§ MR. MARKHAMI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been drawn to a recent decision of the House of Lords, where it was held that in the case of an engineer erecting a fly-wheel for his employers outside the shop and meeting with a fatal accident, his widow was not entitled to compensation under the Act of 1897; and whether he proposes to introduce fresh legislation to meet such cases.
§ * MR. RITCHIEYes, Sir, and the case will be duly noted amongst the collection which, as I have stated before, I am having made for the guidance of the Government as to the eventual amendment of the Workmen's Compensation Act.
