On 21st December, 1955, I appointed a Commission on Workmen's Compensation with the following terms of reference:—
"To examine and report on the present system of workmen's compensation and the question of replacing it by a scheme of national insurance, or otherwise, and to make recommendations."
This is the only body of the kind mentioned in the Deputy's question that has been appointed by me since 1st June, 1954.
