HC Deb 16 April 1923 vol 162 c1685
103. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Secretary for Mines whether, in any legislation which may be introduced affecting workmen's compensation, he proposes to recommend the inclusion of provisions safeguarding the position of miners who have been injured in pursuit of their calling, but are left without any assistance owing to the bankruptcy of the concerns for which they have worked?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have been asked to reply. The question to which the hon. Member draws attention has not been overlooked, but I am not in a position to make any statement at present. I hope to introduce an amending Workmen's Compensation Bill very shortly.
