§ Captain Pluggeasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply whether there are any provisions which enable compensation to be paid in cases of accident or injury to technical personnel, such as chemists who are earning salaries in the vicinity of £500 per annum, and who are employed in considerable numbers in Government munition works; and whether, in view of the risk of this employment and the fact that several of these men have been the victims of accidents since the outbreak of war, he can take steps to ensure that they are adequately provided for?
Mr. Harold MacmilianProvision is made by the injury warrants framed by the Treasury under the Superannuation Acts for the grant of compensation to persons in the category described who are incapacitated by injury on duty.
