§ Sir CHARLES HUNTERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a society distributing any portion of its funds annually among its members can become an approved society provided it has at least 5,000 members?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTH (Lord of the Treasury)The fact that a society distributes a portion of its funds annually among its members will not preclude it from becoming an approved society, provided the funds contributed under the Bill are dealt with in the manner prescribed in the Bill, and the distribution is confined to funds otherwise obtained.
