§ 9. Mr. WELLOCKasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the nature of the changes in the revised draft of the Malay States Workmen's Compensation Bill?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREOnly slight alterations were made in the revised draft, and these were not of substance, but of detail. If the hon. Member desires it, I shall be glad to supply him with the text of the Amendments.
§ 10. Mr. WELLOCKasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the revised Workmen's Compensation Bill in the Malay States has yet been passed; and, if not, whether he can give the reasons for the delay?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI would refer the hon. Member to the reply returned to him on the 4th July, to which I am not able to add anything at present.
§ Mr. WELLOCKCannot information be obtained in regard to this matter? I have raised it on two or three occasions within the last 12 months. Will the right hon. Gentleman see if any definite steps are being taken?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREAs soon as we learn what the Federated Malay States Government intend to do and when they propose to bring the matter before the Federal Council, I shall communicate with the hon. Member.
