HC Deb 25 November 1914 vol 68 cc1283-4

The Injuries in War (Compensation) Act, 1914, shall extend to pensions, grants, and other allowances in respect of disablement by sickness specifically attributable to the nature and conditions of the employment in like manner as it applies to pensions, grants, and other allowances in respect of injuries.

Title: At end, insert the words, "and to amend the Injuries in War Compensation Act, 1914."—[Dr. Macnamara.]

Bill reported, with an amended Title.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill, as amended, be now considered."

Sir F. BANBURY

I submit that we can not take the Report stage of a Money Bill like this. The two stages cannot be taken to-night.

Dr. MACNAMARA

It is not a Money Bill.

Sir F. BANBURY

It is a Money Bill. It gives pensions to certain sailors, and also includes for pensions people who have been injured by sickness as well as people who have been injured by war. Therefore it is practically a Money Bill. There have been several Amendments moved of which we know nothing, and we should have an opportunity of seeing what the Amendments are before taking the Report.

Dr. MACNAMARA

Very well, say to-morrow.

Bill, as amended, to be considered to-morrow (Thursday).
