§ Sir A. Wilsonasked the Home Secretary whether he will represent to the Royal Commission on Workmen's Compensation the importance, not only of hearing evidence in public, but of printing and placing it on sale?
§ Mr. LloydMy right hon. Friend has no doubt that these matters will be considered by the Commission and he does not consider it necessary for him to make any representations to them on the subject.
§ Sir A. Wilsonasked the Home Secretary whether the Royal Commission on Workmen's Compensation will be authorised to incur such expenditure as may be necessary to enable them to hold meetings elsewhere than in London and to employ sub-commissioners to investigate a representative sample of settled cases in order to ascertain the relative merits of lump sum and weekly payments or similar matters upon which reliable direct evidence is not available?

§ Mr. LloydWhere their meetings should be held and what methods they should adopt for inquiring into such questions as the merits of lump-sum compensation will be questions for the Commission, and my right hon. Friend has no doubt that any recommendations by the chairman as to incurring reasonable expenditure for such purposes would be sympathetically considered.
