§ 50. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to the finding of the Committee under the chairmanship of the right hon. Lord Parmoor to inquire into the system of industrial insurance of the working people by insurance companies; and whether, in view of the unexpectedly rapid progress of the Bill for the better government of Ireland now before this House, he will consider the possibility of introducing legislation this Session to deal with this urgent matter affecting many thousands of poor families?
The CHANCELLOR of the EX-CHEQUER (Mr. Chamberlain)I am not yet in a position to introduce legislation, even if I thought, which I do not, that it would be possible to pass it this Session.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYAs this is a very important subject, may I ask if it is engaging the attention of the right hon. Gentleman's Department or of the Government?
