asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can make any statement about the accident at Woolwich Arsenal on 2nd December in which four men were injured; and what was the cause of the accident?

The four men in question were employed by a contractor carrying out repairs to a roof in the Royal Arsenal. I regret to learn that they were accidentally injured on the date mentioned owing to the collapse of some scaffolding erected by the contractor.

Are these men receiving their proper compensation?

They are employés of the contractor, and I should imagine that the ordinary process will be followed.
