HC Deb 08 March 1928 vol 214 c1203
16. Mr. TINKER

asked 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-HICKS

I 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. TINKER

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any idea as to when the return will be available?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I think about the middle of the year.
