HC Deb 12 August 1909 vol 9 c648
Mr. LEVERTON HARRIS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that the Government are going to establish a Sick Fund and pay probably four millions towards it, and would give a million a year towards insurance against unemployment, he could say when legislation to give effect to these promises would be introduced?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

No legislation of this kind will be introduced during the current Session.
