§ 16. Mr. TINKERasked the Home Secretary the amount of compensation paid in 1927 under the Workmen's Compensation Act; and the number of persons who were paid compensation for less than four weeks?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI regret that the figures for 1927 are not available and cannot be ready for some months yet. A number of the returns have yet to come in and the tabulation of the returns takes a considerable time.
§ Mr. TINKERCan the right hon. Gentleman give any idea as to when the return will be available?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI think about the middle of the year.
