Lieut.-Colonel J. Hutchisonasked the Minister of National Insurance whether he has any statement to make on how the Government propose to find employment for or otherwise compensate the employees of mutual insurance companies who will be deprived of their jobs as the result of the operation of the Industrial Injuries Bill.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsI cannot at present go beyond the statement made by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary on the Second Reading of the National Insurance (Industrial Injuries) Bill on 10th October last as regards employment in my Ministry for certain of the officers concerned. Other aspects of the matter are receiving my careful consideration.
