Workmen's Compensation (Amendment) Bill, 1949—First Stage.

Leave granted to introduce a Bill to amend the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1934, so as to make fees for medical and surgical treatment of the workmen payable by the employer in addition to the compensation payable by him.

Ordered: That the Second Stage be taken on Wednesday next.

Minister for Social Welfare (Mr. Norton): It will be taken in its turn, I presume.

An Ceann Comhairle: That is so. It takes precedence over a motion, but it does not take precedence over a Bill that has been tabled before it.
