HC Deb 19 February 1935 vol 298 cc174-5
36. Mr. TINKER

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the delay in getting cases of injured workmen who have been served with the statutory 10 days' notice before the medical referee under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act; and whether he will consider making it compulsory on the employer to continue paying compensation to the injured person until his case has been before the medical referee, as this would speed up the examination?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I do not appear to have received any complaints on this point. If the hon. Member will send me particulars of actual eases in which there seems to have been undue delay, I shall be glad to consider them.
