Mr. DUNCANasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider the possibility of the introduction of a practically non-controversial Bill to remove some of the anomalies which have arisen in the administration of the Workmen's Compensation Act, and containing particularly a provision whereby the maximum weekly payment possible shall be more commensurate with the present cost of living than the present maximum of £l?
§ Sir G. CAVEThis question has been under consideration, and inquiries have been made. The matter is not free from difficulties, but if the Government could be assured that a measure of the nature described would, as suggested, be practically non-controversial, they would be glad to find time for it.
