§ MR. BRAMSDON (Portsmouth)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if he will state whether a new or amended scheme will be submitted for adoption in lieu of the compensation that will be payable under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1906; and, if so, when such proposed new or amended scheme, to be applicable in respect of the workmen employed in the Royal dockyards, will be put upon the Table; and when an opportunity will be given to the House of discussing it before it is certified by the Chief Registrar of Friendly Societies, and adopted.
§ THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. LAMBERT, Devonshire, South Molton)The question is still under consideration.
