HC Deb 01 August 1912 vol 41 c2253
53. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will now state if he has considered the advisability of publishing in some handy form the questions and answers re the National Insurance Act this Session, especially such questions as deal with its administration?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I have no evidence of any general desire for the questions and answers on the National Insurance Act to be so collected, and in view of the fact that the ordinary volumes of Debates, including insurance questions are fully indexed, I do not think the expense involved in resetting and reprinting would be justified.

Mr. WILLIAM REDMOND

Is it not a fact that during the discussion of the Insurance Bill the course asked for by the hon. Member was adopted, and all questions were separately published?

Mr. MASTERMAN

If hon. Members desire it, I am prepared to do so, but I have had no other representations.
