Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am ar 15 Gorffennaf 1925.
Lieut. - Colonel WATTS - MORGAN:
Would the right hon. Gentleman say what happens in a case like this? A fatal accident happens in the first week of January. Proceedings take place on behalf of the widow and children. At the end of February an agreement is arrived at, but that agreement is not registered in Court until the end of March. If there is no meaning in these words, and if they are not intended to be acted upon, what is the use of putting them in at all—if it. does not give the Department power to go back to January for any payments that have been made in the intervening time to go back from January until the end of March when the agreement was registered in Court?
