HC Deb 10 November 1927 vol 210 cc337-8
16. Mr. SEXTON

asked the Home Secretary if it is his intention to introduce an amending Workmen's Compensation Act during the present Session; and if he can name a possible date?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

Is the right hon. Gentleman contemplating any amendment of Section 16, to which employers, particularly mine owners, are refusing to give effect all over the country?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I do not contemplate any amendment of this Section.

Mr. WILLIAMS

May we expect the right hon. Gentleman will go into the question between now and next Session?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I am only too glad to go into any question. Perhaps the hon. Member will communicate with me, and I will specially investigate the point.
