74. Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANSasked whether the total cost of medical and sanatorium benefits under the German insurance scheme for sickness, invalidity, and accident insurance amounts to approximately 14s. per insured person per annum, inclusive of drugs and the treatment of the sick in hospitals and institutions; and whether the Government Memorandum said to be in course of preparation in July last, giving explanations on these questions, is yet ready for publication?
§ Mr. MASTERMANAny attempt to give the total cost of the benefits mentioned under the several German schemes would be misleading without further particulars than can well be included in an answer to a Parliamentary question. I hope to issue the Memorandum as a White Paper during the course of next week.
