HC Deb 29 July 1932 vol 267 c1810
62. Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Home Secretary whether at is the practice for an injured worker whose case for continued compensation has been referred to a medical referee to be allowed to be accompanied by a friend when undergoing examination by the medical referee?

Mr. STANLEY

It is within the discretion of the medical referee to decide in each case what persons, if any, shall be allowed to be present at the examination of the workman. I have no information to show how the referees exercise this discretion.
