HC Deb 31 July 1912 vol 41 cc2051-2
67. Mr. GINNELL

asked if the right hon. Gentleman will say when, and under what name, the United National Friendly Approved Society was registered under the Friendly Societies Acts; when, and under what name, it applied for approval under the National Insurance Act, and whether that society is allowed to operate pending the result of the inquiries regarding it?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The United National Friendly Approved Society is not registered under the Friendly Societies Acts. On 20th April, 1912, an application was received for the approval of a separate section of the United National Friendly Assurance Collecting Society, to be known, if and when approved, by the name of the United National Friendly Approved Society. The section was approved on 22nd June, 1912, and has since that date been, and is still, carrying on the business of an approved society under the National Insurance Act.
