HC Deb 29 July 1912 vol 41 c1627
25. Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked whether the chairman of the English Insurance Commission exercises any control over the other Commissioners?

Mr. MASTERMAN

No, Sir; the Commission follows the ordinary procedure of bodies of this kind.

Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSON

Has the chairman a casting vote?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I am not quite sure, but I do not think he has. Anyhow the Commissioners are in such numbers that a casting vote is not required.

Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

Does the right hon. Gentleman assure us that all these leaflets and Regulations have been made by the Commissioners unanimously?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I cannot tell whether they were unanimously or otherwise. I do not think the Commissioners have come to an actual vote. It is the work of the Commission for which the Commission takes full responsibility.

Forward to
