§ 27. Mr. Thomas Brownasked the Minister of National Insurance if her Department is now ready to bring in legislation to deal with the pre-1924 compensation cases; and when will legislation be brought before the House.
§ Dr. SummerskillMy consideration of this difficult question has reached an advanced stage and I hope to be able to make a statement before long.
§ Mr. BrownWhile thanking the Minister for that reply, which will at least bring a ray of hope to those unfortunate citizens who have waited so long, may I ask if she will give a further assurance to the House that there will be no delay in bringing forward this legislation when it is ready?
§ Dr. SummerskillYes, Sir.
