§ 49. Mr. SWANasked the Prime Minister if, in view of the increasing amount of expenditure to boards of guardians necessary to relieve persons who are in receipt of workmen's compensation because the amount of compensation granted under the Acts is inadequate due to the cost of living, he will introduce; a measure at an early date to obviate the necessity of persons in receipt of compensation being compelled in many cases to apply for outdoor relief for themselves and their families?
§ Mr. SHORTTMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I hope to introduce a Bill on this subject at a very early date.
