HC Deb 12 December 1912 vol 45 c762
60. Mr. GOLDSMITH

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether any of the county councils in Ireland have refused to perform the duties imposed upon them by the National Insurance Act; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take?

Mr. MASTERMAN

No, Sir. I should be glad to know what instance of refusal the hon. Member has in mind. I am not aware of any such case.
