§ 20. Mr. WELLOCKasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Malay States Workmen's Compensation Bill has become Law; and, if not, whether he can give any information on the matter?
§ Mr. AMERYSo far as I am aware the Bill has not yet become law; my latest information is that it was considered at a meeting of the Federal Council on the 30th of July, when it was referred to a Select Committee of the Council for further examination.
§ Mr. WELLOCKWill the right hon. Gentleman enquire the reason of the delay, as this matter has been held up for two or three years? Will he find out the source of the obstruction.
