§ Mr. GINNELLasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that an employé of the Midland Great Western Railway Company of Ireland, named Walter Casserly, was seriously and permanently injured while discharging his duty on a train belonging to that company, in a collision between that train and another near North Wall on 24th March last, and was prevented by his injuries from attending the inquiry subsequently held by the Board of Trade into the cause of the collision; and if he will state the result of that inquiry so far as regards providing adequate compensation for Casserly, who is still under medical care and unable to earn a living?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. H. J. Tennant)The question of compensation does not come within the jurisdiction of the Board of Trade, and the Report of the assistant inspecting officer who held an inquiry into the cause of this accident does not therefore deal with it.
