§ 24. Mr. T. SMITHasked the Home Secretary whether he is in a position to make a statement with regard to the inquiry taking place into the working of the Workmen's Compensation Act?
§ Sir J. SIMONA general inquiry into every aspect of the working of the Workmen's Compensation Act would be a large undertaking, which would take up much time, but I have been considering whether there are not some specific questions which could be more speedily examined, and I hope it may be possible to make a statement on the subject very shortly.
§ Mr. SMITHWill the right hon. Gentleman keep in mind the specific question which was sent to the late Home Secretary by the Miners' Federation of Great Britain relating to a legal decision with regard to miners' nystagmus?
§ Sir J. SIMONOne of the specific matters which I had in mind when I gave my answer was the case of miners' nystagmus.
