HC Deb 06 June 1912 vol 39 c290
65. Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he would issue regulations stating whether an insured person, who was a member of a trade union which was his approved society under the National Insurance Act, would be able to sue his trade union for benefits to which he was entitled under the National Insurance Act?

Mr. MASTERMAN

If an approved society refuses to pay any of its members the benefits to which they are entitled under the Insurance Act, the latter will be able to appeal, under Section 67, to the Insurance Commissioners, who will take steps to ensure that the society carries out the duties under the Act which it undertook as a condition of approval.
