§ Mr. C. DUNCAN (on behalf of Mr. Barnes)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been directed to the case of Tomlin v. Pearson, in which the High Court decided that the protection afforded a workman under the Compensation for Accidents Act of 1906 did not apply abroad; and, having regard to the fact that such decision is clearly against the intention of Parliament at the time of the passing of the Act, if he will take steps to introduce a short amending Bill on the point?
§ The UNDER SECRETARY of the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Herbert Samuel)The Secretary of State is aware of the recent decision of the Court of Appeal in the case referred to. He can only say at present that the question will receive his careful consideration.
