HC Deb 12 February 1913 vol 48 cc953-4
96. Mr. GILL

asked the Home Secretary if he intends on an early date to ap- point a Committee to hold an inquiry into the working of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1906?

Mr. McKENNA

The matter has had my careful consideration, but in view of the possible effect of the National Insurance Act on the question of accident compensation, I have come to the conclusion that the inquiry would be premature if undertaken at the present time.
