8. Mr. EDMUND HARVEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in constituting the Advisory Committee under the National Insurance Act, he has considered the application for representation made by the National Combined Insurance Staffs Committee; and, if not, whether he will favourably consider the application when additional members are appointed, in view of the special experience of the members of this committee?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Masterman)I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave yesterday to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Pontefract. The Commissioners are unable to make further additions to the numbers of the Advisory Committees.
