HC Deb 21 February 1924 vol 169 c1977
56. Mr. SEXTON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he intends at as early a date as possible to introduce a Bill having for its object the codification of the law of compensation for injury to workmen, in accordance with the promise of his predecessor, in view of the confusion existing owing to several Acts of Parliament dealing with this question?

Mr. DAVIES

I appreciate the importance of securing the consolidation of the Workmen's Compensation Acts, and the promise given by the late Home Secretary will be carried out as soon as practicable. I cannot, however, say at present when it will be possible to introduce the necessary Bill.

Mr. G. SPENCER

Can the hon. Member say whether he will be able to introduce a Bill this Session?
