§ Mr. Bennasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when the Government of Aden intend to introduce a social insurance scheme in Aden; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe Governor of Aden does not intend at present to introduce a social insurance scheme in the Colony, in view of the high cost, and of difficulties caused by the high proportion of migrant labour. Existing social services include a free medical and hospital service. There is also a Workman's Compensation Ordinance and most of the leading employers in the Colony have pension or provident fund schemes.
