HC Deb 16 March 1976 vol 907 cc487-8W
Mr. Kimball

asked the Attorney-General if, in view of the publicity given to a recent case of industrial compensation for loss of life in the Gainsborough area, forwarded to him by the hon. Member for Gainsborough, he will now review the level of industrial compensation for such accidents.

The Attorney-General

The appropriate amount of compensation in a case of in- dustrial accident, including a fatal accident the victim of which had no dependants, is a matter falling within the terms of reference of the Royal Commission on Civil Liability and Compensation for Personal Injury. The Government will consider in the light of the report and recommendations of the Royal Commission, when they are received, what changes and improvements in this branch of the law are required.
