HC Deb 18 July 1911 vol 28 cc864-5
Captain CLIVE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, seeing that the Ancient Order of Foresters found that the actuarial difference between the cost of country and town sickness insurance was not more than ¼d. a week, but that the Foresters continue benefits over seventy while the Government scheme does not, if he will have the actuarial difference in pennies per week calculated between the benefits conferred by the Foresters on their country and town contributors over seventy years of age due to the admitted greater longevity of country contributors

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hobhouse)

I will refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's statement on the 4th July, in reply to a number of requests for actuarial information.

Captain CLIVE

Was it in answer to a question?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

Yes. It is rather too long to read. It occupies about a column of the OFFICIAL REPORT.
