§ Mr. David Adamsasked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is intended to make obligatory upon education committees, and/or farmers, the insurance of children and teachers working upon farms under the new personal accident insurance scheme arranged by the Ministry of Agriculture with certain insurance companies?
Mr. HudsonNo, Sir. The Personal Accident Insurance Scheme provides protection over and above the statutory protection which children enjoy in common with other agricultural workers, and I feel that it must be left to those who are organising the arrangements to decide whether this additional cover should be provided.
