§ 101. Mr. T. Brownasked the Minister of National Insurance whether she can now make a statement regarding the position of pre-1924 workmen's compensation cases.
Mr. B. TaylorYes, my right hon. Friend hopes very shortly to introduce legislation to authorise payment out of the Industrial Injuries Fund of additional allowances in these cases. The general effect will be that, as from a date to be fixed, those concerned will be put as nearly as may be in the same financial position as if the later Workmen's Compensation Acts had applied to them.
