HC Deb 29 July 1942 vol 382 cc509-10
56. Miss Ward

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will give an assurance that in future no regulations will remain in force which will, in the case of fatal accidents, restrict the payment of wages to the next-of-kin to half a day on the day the accident occurs?

Sir A. Duncan

Yes, Sir.

Miss Ward

In view of my right hon. Friend's ready acquiescence to my request, will he see that other Government Departments know of this decision?

Sir A. Duncan

I will consider that.
