§ 20. Mr. BROOKEasked the Home Secretary the reason for His Majesty's Government's refusal to ratify the International Labour Convention of 1925 concerning workmen's compensation for accidents; and whether it is on account of the obligation which would ensue from Article 11 to introduce a system of compulsory insurance against the insolvency of employers?
§ Sir J. SIMONI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave the hon. Member for the Shipley Division (Mr. Creech Jones) on 31st March.

§ Sir J. SIMONI could not say without notice.
§ Mr. BROOKEMay I put down another question?
