§ MR. J. F. HOPE (Sheffield, Brightside)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is yet in a position to state when the Workmen's Compensation (Amendment) Bill will be introduced.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers-Douglas.) The Departmental Committee, to whom was entrusted the task of examining the many important and complicated questions raised by any suggestion of extending and amending the existing Workmen's Compensation Acts, are pressing forward the consideration of their Report with all possible speed. When the Report is in my hands no time will be lost on my part; but I cannot fix a date for the introduction of the Bill.
