§ 28. Mr. TINKERasked the Home Secretary how many cases of lump-sum agreements under the Workmen's Compensation Act during 1929 were objected to by the registrar when first presented to him because the amount offered was too low; and will he say in how many cases the original sum was increased before the registrar would record the memorandum?
§ Mr. CLYNESAs shown on page 15 of the Workmen's Compensation Statistics for 1929, the figures asked for are 1,038 and 834, respectively.
§ Mr. TINKERCan my right hon. Friend tell us whether the offers were made first of all by the insurance companies or by the men's employers?
§ Mr. CLYNESI should require notice in order to answer that question.
