HC Deb 30 October 1930 vol 244 c187
22. Mr. LESLIE BOYCE

asked the Home Secretary whether His Majesty's Government has under consideration the question of introducing legislation dealing with workmen's compensation; if so, whether any steps have been taken to consult with employers' as well as workers' organisations in order to ascertain the probable effect on industry of any measures which may be in contemplation; and, if the views of these organisations have not been obtained, will the Government give them an opportunity of considering any proposed legislation on this subject before its introduction into Parliament?

Mr. CLYNES

The question of legislation is under consideration, but I am not in a position at present to make any announcement. The hon. Member may be assured that before legislation is introduced the employers as well as the workers' representatives will be consulted.
