HC Deb 15 March 1934 vol 287 cc562-3
10. Mr. HUTCHISON

asked the Home Secretary if he will consider introducing legislation to establish, in connection with workmen's compensation, a schedule of payments in respect of the loss of specific limbs as is the case in connection with war and disability pensions?

Sir J. GILMOUR

This suggestion merits careful examination and had already been noted for consideration when the time comes for a general review of the working of the Acts. I can make no promise at present as to legislation, but my hon. Friend may rest assured that the matter will not be lost sight of.

Mr. T. SMITH

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when we are likely to have a review of the Acts?

Sir J. GILMOUR

No, Sir.
