The reason was to enable some economy to be secured. The effect of the new regulations is only to provide that the returns regarding workmen's compensation, hitherto collected from private employers in each year, will in future be collected at somewhat longer intervals, which will be frequent enough to yield the information required for statistical purposes. The returns from insurance companies and county registrars will continue to be collected each year.
