HC Deb 15 December 1919 vol 123 c82W
Mr. A. HENDERSON

asked the Minister of Labour whether it is proposed to introduce the Bill to extend Part II. of the National Insurance Act and to take any more stages of the Bill before the Prorogation?

Sir R. HORNE

A Bill for this purpose has been drafted, and its Clauses are now undergoing final consideration preparatory to its being introduced in the House and discussed with industrial organisations. It is hoped to introduce it before the House rises, but if this proves impossible, the Recess will still be taken advantage of for the purpose of consultation so that no time shall be lost.
