HC Deb 19 February 1912 vol 34 cc291-2
Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the Insurance Commissioners will prepare and publish the reserve value tables in accordance with Section 55 of the National Insurance Act, and whether he is aware that no schemes can be prepared and submitted for the approval of the Commissioners for substituted benefits under Section 13 until such reserve value tables are published?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The Actuaries appointed by the Joint Committee, in conjunction with the Actuarial Advisory Committee are now preparing the tables of reserve values, which will be published at the earliest possible moment.

Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

Can the hon. Gentleman give any sort of estimate when they will be published?

Mr. MASTERMAN

No. They are on the work now. I cannot give any estimate at present.
