§ Mr. NORMAN CRAIGasked whether any and what, estimate has been made as to the number of the Advisory Committees to be appointed by the Insurance Commisioners in the event of the National Insurance Bill passing into law; whether the members of such Advisory Committees will be remunerated; and, if so, what the total cost of such remuneration is estimated to be and from what source such remuneration is to be provided?
Mr. McKINNON WOODThe number of members of the Advisory Committee cannot be estimated until the Insurance Commissioners have decided the interests to be represented and the extent of the representation to be assigned severally to them. It is not intended that they shall be remunerated.
§ Mr. NORMAN CRAIGCan the right hon. Gentleman say how it is possible to arrive at an estimate of the amount of benefit to be administered under the Bill when you cannot give an estimate of the cost of administration?
