§ 41. Mr. Oliverasked the Home Secretary whether he will refer to the committee now considering workmen's compensation the need for including in any amending legislation a provision to meet the costs by the insurers of any special treatment, spectacles, or surgical appliances required by the injured workman as a result of his accident and for which no financial provision is made at the present time, thereby causing great hardship to the sufferer?
§ Sir S. HoareI am advised that arrangements for providing special treatment and appliances fall within the purview of the Rehabilitation Committee under their present terms of reference, and I will draw the attention of the committee to the hon. Member's question.
