HC Deb 27 March 1933 vol 276 cc685-6W
Mr. MORGAN JONES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act Amendment Bill now before the Legislative Assembly depart from the proposals of the Royal Commission on Indian Labour in the matter of the scale of compensation; and whether he will direct the Government of India to have regard to the recommendations of the Royal Commission in this respect?

Sir S. HOARE

The Bill as introduced by the Government embodied the scale recommended by the Commission, but a slight modification has been recommended by the Selection Committee of the Assembly to which it has been referred.
