HC Deb 12 February 1934 vol 285 c1590
53. Mr. PETHERICK

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what action, if any, the Government propose to take with regard to the findings in the report of the Committee on Industrial Insurance issued in 1933?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am not yet in a position to add anything to the answer I gave on the 13th December last to a question by the hon. and gallant Member for Hitchin (Sir A. Wilson).

Mr. PETHERICK

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether the Government are giving consideration to the report?

Mr. BUCHANAN

Are the Government at the present time, contemplating taking any action on this report?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I cannot add anything to the previous answer which I gave on that subject, which was to the effect that I was not yet in a position to say.

Mr. BUCHANAN

But are the Government considering the taking of action. Is the matter under consideration at all, or is it dropped for the present time.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The matter is not dropped. As the hon. Member is aware, it will require very profound consideration.
