HC Deb 28 February 1927 vol 203 cc15-6
26. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he anticipates that a law enforcing employers' liability for accidents will be passed into law in Palestine?

Mr. AMERY

A Workmen's Compensation Ordinance has recently been enacted in Palestine which imposes liabilities on employers of certain classes of workmen who are injured in the course of and as a result of their employment. Before considering whether any further legisla- tion is desirable, I should wish to have experience of the working of this Ordinance.
