§ Mr. JOWETTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will revise the details of the cost of benefits statement made in Command Paper, No. 5885, to correspond with the National Insurance scheme, as amended in Committee; and if he will add other tables to show the estimated value of the benefits to persons joining, for example, at the ages of thirty, forty, and fifty, respectively?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. McKinnon Wood)The hon. Member will find the information asked for in the first part of his question in the recent Report of the Actuaries (Command Paper 5983). It would be premature to publish a statement as to the value of the benefits at the various ages specified in the second part of the question, as the duty of preparing tables has been imposed on the Insurance Commissioners.
