HC Deb 12 April 1911 vol 24 cc474-5
Mr. BOOTH

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the slow progress made with the Parliament Bill, he would consider the advisability of postponing the introduction of the State Insurance Bill or any other legislation until the Parliament Bill had passed through all its stages; and whether he would consider the appointment in the meantime of a special committee or a commission to examine the German insurance scheme, and to obtain more information from existing agencies in this country to assist the Government in preparing legislation on such a difficult proposal as a compulsory universal invalidity insurance Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer is in the negative.
