I am not sure that the right hon. Gentleman quite answered my Question, although he may have meant to do so. The Hancock Committee was an inter-departmental committee with wide terms of reference and its findings applied to industrial injuries as they applied to war service injuries. It is the same question in both cases. Will the proposed new Committee have terms of reference at least as wide as those and will its assessments be assessments of percentages even if they are not assessments of amount?
