HC Deb 06 May 1936 vol 311 cc1710-1W
Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that one of the doctors under the Workmen's Compensation Act appointed as an arbitrator, Dr. Edington, certified Michael McGinlay, of 141, Surrey Street, Glasgow, as being unfit for his normal work but fit for light work such as a watchman, entailing 16 hours work daily and over 30 hours work at the week end in addition; and if he will cause inquiry to be made into this case?

Mr. LLOYD
