asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether it is proposed to publish the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into Workmen's Compensation, and the evidence given to the Committee, and, if so, when publication may be expected.

The report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the question of Workmen's Compensation has been in the hands of the printers for a considerable time but is expected to be placed on sale early next week.

It is not at present intended to print the evidence given before the Committee in view of the expense involved and of the fact that the report itself reproduces verbatim much of the evidence on the more important points. The matter will be further considered on the introduction of legislation consequent on the report.
