HC Deb 21 November 1927 vol 210 cc1422-3
96. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Home Secretary what proportion of the premiums paid as insurance against accidents, under the Workmen's Compensation Act, was absorbed as working expenses and profits for the insurance year ended July, 1927?

Sir V. HENDERSON

I regret that this figure is not available for the period mentioned. The figures for the calendar year ended 31st December last will appear in the Statistics of Workmen's Compensation for 1926, which my right hon. Friend hopes to be able to present to Parliament before the end of this Session.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Since the Ministry of Labour are able to give the figures for their Department ought it not to be possible, with similar ease, for the right hon. Gentleman's Department to give details concerning workmen's compensation?

Sir V. HENDERSON

If it be possible to get the figures, I will do so.
