HC Deb 01 May 1923 vol 163 cc1178-9
49. Major BURNIE

asked the Prime Minister whether The Workmen's Compensation (Anglo-French Convention) Act, 1909, is working satisfactorily; and, if so, will he take steps to conclude a similar convention with the Government of the Dominion of Canada?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have been asked to reply. The answer to the first part of the question is, so far as the Home Office is aware, in the affirmative. No special need for entering into a similar arrangement with Canada has so far shown itself, as, generally speaking, the Canadian Acts provide for reciprocal treatment in regard to compensation; but the whole question of reciprocity in this matter is under consideration.
