§ Mr. BRIDGEMANasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the different groups of Insurance Commissioners have defined spheres of operation allotted to them; and, if so, to what group is Shropshire assigned?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI beg to refer the hon. Member to the Sections of the Act (Section 57 and Sections 79 to 82) which decides the matter. The Insurance Commission (England) are responsible for carrying Part I. of the Act into operation in Shropshire.
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANWill the hon. Gentleman protect my innocent Constituents from having letters addressed to them in Welsh, asking them to get up meetings at their own expense for the purpose of explaining the Act to the Welsh people in Wales?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI believe there are Welsh-speaking districts in Shropshire where such meetings might be held, and such lectures usefully given.
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANDid the hon. Gentleman say just now that Shropshire was under the English Commissioners—is it to be under both English and Welsh?
§ Mr. MASTERMANNo, but if there are Welsh-speaking people in Shropshire it is rather desirable to have Welsh-speaking lecturers.
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANWill the hon. Gentleman see that these notices are sent to Welsh-speaking people and not to English people?
